Hey, I'm a n00b to modding. I am planning on modding a Lian-Li PC60, but I also have a future mod in mind. I was wondering if any one knew where I could get a small metal barrel to use as my case. I was planning on making a "Biohazard" barrel, with green gew dripping down the sides. If any one knows of any sites (or has a barrel of their own) input would be helpful. EDIT: Wrong forum, please move mods. Let the flames roll in....
Could maybe try getting hold of a small metal beer keg to mod? You could always buy a full one, then enjoy emptying it!!! Edit <Harry Hill> Welcome to our world! </Harry Hill>
Hey, here in the states a lot of paint supply places sell paint in 5 gallon metal cans... could be a good source. welcome to the forums
Welcome! Yeah, I'd suggest using one of those little (little being 5 or 6 liters ) kegs of beer you can buy in supermarkets... Would be nice and small, too
I guess it's not really necessary to point out the compelling advantage of a beer keg. And of course, I suggest one as a test run before you go carving up the real one. Maybe two. And welcome to the boards.
the only possible disavantage of course is the amazing disappointment when you arrive to a lan party and people find out it's full of computer stuffs..
That's why you bring 2... one computer, one beer. Then put a tap on them both and you can confuse people. Plus you could put the computer keg in ice for extra cooling power!
I thought about using a beer keg to put a computer in... but it very small... maybe too small... (6" diameter, 9" 3/4 height)
a pony keg, or quarter barrel ... (same thing, just depends where you grew up as to the term used) is about 12" in diameter and about 15" high if i remember correctly ... i used to use an empty one to keep my little webber grill off the wooden deck, and it fit perfectly, and raised it up enuff so i didnt have to bend over to flip steaks n stuff ... and if i remember right, the grill itself was 14" across, and i had to bend the legs in just a little to fit em in the top of the keg.
