Ok, so I am a hardcore fallout fan. And a serious lover of pc building. So as soon as I got my pip-boy edition of fallout 4 in the mail, I knew I wanted to turn the capsule case it came in into a PC. My questions posed now are:
1. How should I cut a hole for the motherboard I/O in plastic?
2. Cooling is gonna be interesting. Any suggestions on how to cool such a thing?

I already have some components to prototype with. If you've never seen the (Pip-boy edition capsule case) you can search the previous text on Google and there should be a wealth of pictures. Any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated and will help shape what I hope to be an awesome build!

If you get into case modding at all, you must have a Dremel tool. You can do a lot of things with these, including cutting holes and fabricating pieces. With space being at a premium, you might build an external fan and use duct or tubing to blow air through the case.
