    I forgot to read the rules before making a thread :duh:... Sorry about that moderators...

    Excuse me for my english, I'm not a native english speaker

    Introduction: I'm Alan5510301, this is my first post so help me out if I did something wrong.

    All I had was a laptop, with onboard Intel x3100 Graphics, which wasn't enough for gaming, so I decided to get a PC. I also decided to build one (First time), and I wanted to build a case for it too, because I wanted something small enough to take around without lugging a full ATX case but I couldn't find one for an ATX MB that was small AND reliable in this country.

    I decided to use wood and plywood.

    Specs:
    CPU: i5 2400
    MB: ASRock Z68 PRO-M3
    RAM: Kingston Hyper-X 8GB
    HDD: 500GB Hitachi
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6870 Saphire (Enough to play most of my games on max settings in 1080p :rock:)
    DVD Drive: Lite-on CD/DVD Reader/Writer
    Power Supply: Power-Up 500W

    I am using my phone to take the pictures because my SLR broke :waah: so excuse me for my bad pictures :D

    Original idea:

    I wanted to use it occasionally as an HTPC so I went with the low profile.

    Day 1:

    I finished cutting the plywood boards for the base on the first day.

    Day 2:

    Started making the lock mechanisme after way too much thinking...
