That brings back memories :( (the old days) now I have cat's so I need a closed case of a sort (turned a microwave cart into an air box once with a game server inside though) :) most of mine have been filtered mid and full towers.

Keep up the enterprising design I love it.

heh heh old days for "me" modding was 2002/3 I remember when PC's I ran as a kid were all caseless (well at least 90% of my Dad's rigs were). No Cat's allowed, but we are talking 80's. First PC we had in the house (I was too little to touch.. must have been 74/75) was actually built out of wood, out of the back of a magazine probably...

And well...

Aside from the first... filtering is all about pressure... use a purely filtered positive air design it would be fine. My designs could not run negative with filtered intakes... as it would have been too restrictive cuz I was not air tight...(First one especially) Really looking back if that PC was not scratch built over 3 years... would never have done that first setup at all.

Was great clocker though, not as good as Freeagents Barton core of course.. t-breds were not that great.. but.. he was paying alot more for a mobo that supported his CPU too... (I am a cheap ass)

(First and second mods are same components basically if not identically, just summer/winter setups, I had a window to open to let in the cold air if I wanted higher clocks)

LOL was looking for another thread but found this.

Thought it was funny no one mentioned it,

That pink thing sticking out of the PCI expansion areathat touches the wall is a glittery 6" kids school ruler. Was reflective enough that placed 1/4 wavelength from my antenna doubled my wireless signal :)
