No reinforcements whatsoever. Just hard compressed cardboard, quite stirdy I might add. Only metal pieces in there are the screws and little tin pieces on the other side to catch the screws. The components inside are stacked in the manner of giving constructional support, ie: power supply is...

I'm still alive, my apartment wasn't singed by the raging flaming inferno. Temperatures are still a decent 35 celsius average. Case withstood a lot of moving around, this time the cardboard is really stirdy (this being a v3 of the cardboard mod i did). I'm quite pleased with the mini PC :)

Did you create your PC mod? I'm really anxious to see it :) http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1038000470&postcount=9

So far so good, I'm using it often as a projector PC. Even used it as a constantly on download machine for a couple of weeks.

Fire hazard is not an option, sice overally no component gets hotter than 45 celsius under maximum stress (it's a render support machine).

I dug up the switch from an electronic parts bunch my dad has, I really liked the retro feel of it :) Thanks!

Thanks! The noisiest thing in there is the old hard drive. Besides that there are only 3 fans inside the case. The AMD's 3600+ is quiet even on full load, GFX card cooler is quieter than the CPU cooler and the PSU cooler, the main extractor of hot air from the case, is low rpm too.
