System Specs:
AMD Dual Core Processor, a Pioneer DVD Burner, 2GB's of ram, PC Chips motherboard, a really big AC fan, and a Seagate Barracuda 250GB Hard Drive.
This is my second attempt at building my own case. I reinforced this case with thin sheets of plywood and Gorilla glue. The glue foams up and expands which helped make this case nearly silent. The fan is pretty quiet because larger fans don’t need to spin as fast. Again as with the last case, making everything fit in such a small box was a challenge.

Post your commentWhy is your handle "cantstandcraig"?....on second thought just get stuffed.
Good case mod I like it :) 7/10. However the claim of silence is questionable.

Actually it is near silent, not silent. You have to be right near it to hear it unlike my personal computer that you can hear across the room. The large fan on top is very quiet and all the parts inside are surrounded by plywood and foam glue.
by: craigoThat is an address that is used by a couple of people at work. It started when a co-worker (angry man) got banned from craigslist. He created this email address and let everyone use it. You should see the amount of spam it gets.

I always like watching people use stuff laying around to build with, Nice Job.
Interesting B& story,Interesting case 6/10.
Maybe touch-up the parts you cut out with some matte black...(why cant we edit our comments?, i usually have value-add after the event :-).)
by: craigoI have been looking for some thin wood to put around the DVD player but I may go with some sea glass which would change the look dramatically. I don't know yet. Thanks for your comments.
