Home made case : ThinThin

[Zanskar03]

I have finished yesterday this home made case based on this hardware :
Intel DH61AG (B3)
G.Skill SO-DIMM DDR3 2 x 4 Go PC10600 SQ
Intel Core i5 2405 S
OCZ Nocti mSATA - 60 Go
Samsung SpinPoint M8 - 1 To S-ATA II
Samsung SN-208BB
Here are the first pictures, size is 7.4" x 7.2" x 2.9"

So far it's running 7 but I'm going to try to run Mac OS...

I don't know exactly how to proceed, I going to read this forum
Any help is welcome
Sorry for my english...I'm french

That's really nice. Did you heat the acrylic in your oven or with a heat gun to make the bends?

I would put some sort of grille on that fan and turn it upside down and put case feet on the bottom. Less chance of damage that way.

I agree (for practicality!) but I must admit I quite like the "hot rod" carb.s through the hood look.

I do kinda like the open yellow fan on the top
Maybe a grill though just encase though.


Also check out Neil's thread about that mobo and installing OS X:

I like it, it looks cool! thought it was a xbox case.!

Thanks guys

About the fan, I like naked fans for the noise and the look even if it can be dangerous for the fan or little fingers .
I got also 3 40mm fans ar the bottom so it's the same problem on the opposite side

I bent the plexiglass using a heatgun

I'll look a Neil's thread thx.

Nice, looks very well done. Look forward to hearing you running OS X on it.

I figured out why you make such a small case.
A bigger one will not fit on that bench

Man, there are hundreds small parts on it.

It reminds me my bench

It is very nice. I like it a lot. You gave me ideas for building one custom case.

Also what about to put a protection grill on the fun?


EDIT: I just saw your designs. They are perfect, very beautiful.
Congragulations
