A friend of a friend of mine built an Xbox into a suitcase similar to the one I have used, and I thought that I would be able to do that too, but with a PC. This box I have made is not quite finished, and is a prototype anyway, with many design faults and errors, as you can see with many problems too it. When doing this project I aimed for completion and learning instead of having it look good, so next time with a better case to start with, I can do a proper job. Anyway, all I have left to do is add a window near the fans on the lid to show the lighted motherboard.
Pics!
Shows my improvised video/sound card mounting system.
These show the motherboard lighting I implmented.
Green Only
Red Only
Both Red and green on
Shows the wiring for the backlight.
A lot more pictures are on this tread on my friend's forum. http://www.aintnobullshit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=186
Hope you enjoyed.
EDIT: it would appear that someone else did this too, even on the 1st page of this forum. Oh well. My specs btw are:
Athlon XP 2500+ (2.1 GHz (Can't fit my good heatsink))
ATI X800 Pro
Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS
2GB PC3200
WD SATA 200GB Hard drive
DVD burner
Floppy Drive (gotta have one...
)
Old crud heatsink (not stock, but comperable. I bought the CPU OEM)
btw this is my main computer, the only others I have are old Pentium 2 233 MHz's. It is totally portable and a lot cooler than my old standard ATX Case, on that case the max OC I got with this heatsink was 1.9 GHz or 2.0GHz, this thing can do 2.1-2.2 GHz depending on room temp.
