Hi again...so still have not worked out how to post builds properly, so Im back here, from the sublime to the ridiculous I thought I would share my second and third Hack builds.

I really really hate cases on the market, so much that I prefer plastic packing crates from the local hardware store. These nifty boxes are cheap, easy to cut into, are very small 40x30x20 cm and have carrying handles on them.

I like moving my computers around as I do video editing, so these are kind of ideal. Also they run very cool and quiet. I recently modified them to take 5xx and 6xx series graphics cards, so they pack more of a punch when rendering with cuda.

I had some trouble initially with the GTX 550ti card but now its flawless.

Hope you enjoy, not really the sleek look, but very practical.

This is a really good idea. I'm not a big fan of cases available ont he market either. The manufacturers seem to be making cases only for the gaming and the office markets. And it seems try hard to make them look as ugly as possible.

I recently modded a Power PC case and am very happy with it. It's cool and quiet but yours made me think plastic is a) easier to work with b) can dampen noises coming from hdds and fans.

I love the boxes.:clap:
Have a real Star Wars feel to them.:mrgreen:
