Suitcase Building Journal

i saw someone's suitecase pc, i think it was supernova's and i was very impressed. So i decided to TRY, keyword try, to build my own. I have a somewhat usable PII set w/ mb, hd, cd drive, psu and a cpu w/ heatsink. However when i thought about it i was very stumped when it comes to mounting things into the suitecase. I have a suitecase but its rounded on the edge and the top and bottem are all slightly rounded. Any ideas anyone?

here's a pic of my plan

...sorry but i dont exactly know how to use the attachment method thingy..

blue wire=120v AC wire
Thick yellow wire=IDE cable
white/thin yellow=molex

everything else is self explanitory.

supernova explain how you do that. I might want to give it a shot.

 

[diduknowthat]

that was my basic design, though i might not have the monitor on it.

that would be quite cool but what kind of suitecase you mean one of those extra reinforsed ones

 

[diduknowthat]

no not extra reinforsed, just a normal suitecase

i talked with my tech teacher and he suggested i should put a wooden board between the motherboard and the case. Therefore i would attatch everything onto the board, not the case. Sounds like a good idea.

EDIT: ok, i'm gonna start documenting this with pictures and instructions.

Looks more like a bomb than a computer.

yha, it might be hard to walk around in a big city with that. But it would make for a good show off computer for LAN parties.
