Hello again. Im pretty new to Bit-tech but I have some builds already done that I wanna show. This one is the first real scratch build I ever did. It was a project at school. The idea came from someone on a swedish forum that made the same thing, but not so nice. So I wanted to make it look good and a little bit more serious. The hardware I used in this build is not something to brag about but I think the actual case is the most important. In the pictures you will see all kind of hardware but it ended up with this: Asus M2N68-AM PLUS AMD Athlon2 X2 245 @ 3150MHz 4gb Corsair DDR2 Corsair 400W PowerColor Radeon HD4650 SCS3 512MB @ 750/550 This red thing, dont know what its called in english, in swedish its "drickaback". But its a "case" for bottles. Ive always loved Coca-Cola so when I found this "drickaback" on my work I bought it for ~2$. First thing was to cut out bigger holes on the sides for 2 Revoltec 120mm fans. Next thing was to cut out some of the plastic inside it to fit a matx motherboard and the psu. The hole in the front I put a acrylic plate. Then I took a motherboard plate from an old chassi and two hinges and put it in place. The bottom looks like this. And cant have it like that! So I put a plate with some feets on it. For the top I also used acrylic and hinges. This tinted acrylic looks really good I think. Needed some red cathodes too. One thing that Im really proud over with this build is the power button. Took some old switch and put here. And then glued this Coca-Cola cap on it. This was the first time I ever sleeved something, so its not that good. This is a little overview picture of some of the hardware I used. Final pictures: So this is my Coca-Cola case aka The Red One. My first real serios build ever and this is what made me love computer modding and so on. Hope you liked it, comment what you think. /Johan Nyman
Nice fit and finish work for a traditional student furniture building block. The last time I saw one of these used for a case it was filled with expanding foam.
