Thought I would make a new post as I kinda hijacked the other thread. It started as a tall ammo can from Cheaper Than Dirt. Cut holes out for the power supply in the side,80mm fan in the rear and a 50mm in the front. Cut out the backplane leaving the PS2 ports covered since it would have required removing part of the hinge. Well here it is AMD XP 1800+ CPU,256mb PC2100,40gb WD 7200 rpm,Sony 48 cd-rom,Windows 2000 Pro Side of case cut for power supply [img]http://home.ptd.net/~chrishag/ammo3.JPG[/img] Front of case (sorry about the pic looking squished) [img]http://home.ptd.net/~chrishag/ammo4.JPG[/img] Stenciled and ready to go [img]http://home.ptd.net/~chrishag/ammo5.JPG[/img] Inside of case [img]http://home.ptd.net/~chrishag/ammo7.JPG[/img] Back of case [img]http://home.ptd.net/~chrishag/ammo8.JPG[/img] Top view [img]http://home.ptd.net/~chrishag/ammo9.JPG[/img] |

I don't see any cooling issues, I have run it 11 hours a day since I finished it a week ago with the lid closed with no signs of overheating. M4 I think this project is more hands on than just cutting the holes out. You really have to have each peice in front of you in order to make it all fit... But for anybody interested I may part with it for the right price. Which I think would be around $400 shipped... |
| We only use AMD at our shop and I run them at home with zero problems so that is what I went with. Lets not turn this thread into a [flame] fest. I don't think I would make another one as this one was tough enough to make it all line up with no gaps in the backplate. It turned out much better than I thought it would. Yes you must open the lid to use the cdrom. M4 it is an AMD XP 1800+ with 256mb DDR ram and a 40Gb Hdd. |

Ok, that is really kewl. Can you find a can big enough for a Tyan Tiger AMD MP dual processor? That's the board I want with a 320 Ultra SCSI and 4 GB of memory. Yes, I have an app that uses dual processors and it needs them...2 AMD MP's running at 2 Gigahertz makes for a supreme number cruncher over a single Pentium and the dual costs less. Go figure. |
