I currently have a Mountain Mods U2-UFO case. For those of you who are not familiar with this case, it is essentially 2 mid tower cases mount side by side to be a cube. That being the case, there are 2 spots to mount a power supply. Since I have a single machine in it currently there is one spot free with nothing in it.
My idea:
Take a power supply case, gut it, put a micro/mini atx board in it, put linux on it and profit?
Practical Uses: Web Browsing, Media Consumption, Email, other productivity software.
Questions:
Is there a board small enough that would fit in a PSU case (5.9" x 6.3")?
Will a Linux distro such as .. "Mint"? .. work well on a set up like this?
How should I go about supplying power to this set up?
Other concerns/comments?
P.S. I am essentially trying to use Linux as my main OS for day to day tasks and windows for my gaming needs.
Thanks
