Scratch Build – In Progress Dual PC case MK3.

You mix together 2 things i really love: carpentry and modding. Not only this, but the worklog is fantastic and the job itself is awesome!

Fantastic. Honest (as Joe Martin use to say)!

5 Stars and subscribed!

 

WOW, you have some nice skills Can you tell little about what hardware you are using and why you need 2 PC's ?

 

Thank you Yemerich.

Thanks Mikle., The hardware is not the latest but is good,
here is a list:
PC1. Q6600 GO
4GB OCZ 800mhz
Asus P5KE-Wi-Fi
HD 3850
PC2. E6600
2GB OCZ 800mhz
Gigabyte 965P DS-4
X1950 pro
And various WD Hard drives.
PC2 is a media center and holds all my movies and music, PC1 is
the workhorse were I do all my video editing and coding and all my
photo editing.
I don't "need" to have 2 pc's I just like to.

 

Ah okay How mutch harddrive space ?

 

I love the idea of a breakout box.

NIce spec PCs too.

 

All up about 2.2TB, not a lot by todays standards but plenty for me.

Thanks again AlexB.

 

I'm...sensing...sarcasm. God, that's enough space!

 

Beautiful!!! I love how you got the wood for the doors look like one piece, impressive!

 

Haha., no, I didn't mean to be sarcastic at all and I'm sorry if readers get that idea. And yes
I won't be buying any drives for a long time.


Thanks again Macros.

 

Why apologize?! Sarcasm is a way of life! It's like...a lifeforce to me.... I crave it like a drug. Okay... Sorry. Lost my way for a sec.

 

i will keep an eye on this, your work is amazing, and it kind of remembers me of a project i was to make but could not do it because of the price of the stuff......

and yes, it is starting to look like furniture....

 

The only thing it lacks is a multi-CD loader unit modded to handle data dvds. You have enough room for one.

 

You'll be surprised how little room is left.

E.E.L. Ambiense.,
Haha OK, I'll try to find a sarcasm dealer for you.

Thank you DXR_13KE.

 

They have sarcasm on my home planet I have 3 1Tb raid 5 arrays and 4 250Gb leftovers from the 4th array.
Lot's of room for family pictures and recipes!
Before anyone asks, I didn't buy them, in the US the barter system is alive and well.

Wow! That's a lot of recipes. Well I only have about 900GB of stuff
as far as I can tell, so lot's of room left to put away useless stuff I'll never be
able to find again.

 

This I can relate to. I am always searching for a picture or link that is buried from WAY BACK! I think packrat should be the Colorado state mammal. I'd vote for it.

Beautiful wood working here. And your skills with aluminum are fantastic.

Lovely project. Cant wait to see the end product.

 

Thanks outawaol, Here you go then.


Although the project is still ongoing the case is largely finished.
Just need to see if I can lower the top a little and finish and wire
up the control box.

There are a lot of photo's here spread across two posts, I just didn't
know which ones to exclude.

 

My wife said "where's the photo with Anika", so here's the photo.

 

very clean
