"NoCase Too"

Mechanical abilities or Maniacle talents? d00d, I'm turning you over to the FCC for sure on this one!

well i must say thats a truly hideous construction... though i would have maybe made the cd drive horizontal, even if it takes up more room.

very nice.
where are the casefans though?

"Hideous"? It must not be too ugly as I've already had an offer of $100 for it, without any parts on it. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Like the original "NoCase", "NoCase Too" was made from pieces sheared from a flat 4 ft by 8 ft sheet of 16 gague hot rolled steel. Now that's hideous! All the pieces were sheared to size, bent on a box brake, fitted together and then stitch welded with a Miller Mig Welder. Afterwards, it was de-burred, holes were drilled and tapped, it was sand blasted, primed and finally painted with neon orange. A clear coat of lacquer was sprayed on to make it shine.
It was actually built as a gaming machine for LAN parties. With the handle on the top, it is easy to carry with one hand. I guess my next purchase should be a flat screen monitor, huh.

It's funny that you mention the "nice aluminum box" because this computer was in an aluminum case until the new "NoCase Too" was completed. I actually had this new computer up and running for a month before it was switched over. I gave that "nice aluminum box" to my wife!
I've spent my life trying NOT to be conventional. If you look here, www.ftrdesign.com/rre you will see some of my other "hideous" stuff. I just like things that are different. I guess it's called "thinking outside the box", which sometimes leads to great innovations. I refuse to be "normal". After all, how many 57 year old fat guys do you know that regularly play online and LAN games? I may have to grow old, but I refuse to grow up!
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to look, even if you don't like it.
I'll be busy for the next few days so I probably won't have time to check the board until later this week. Have a nice day!

That would be my main concern. All sorts of nastly conductive things can come into contact with system components rigged that way. Good chassis for testing components though.

..er, where do the case fans go? Lol!
Sys maintenance should be quick too!

At least cooling shouldn't be much of an issue!

Isn't the point of a case to protect the components and provide airflow? I don't see how this could ever be a good idea. It may look neat, but you run a HIGH risk of accident. Unless this is mounted in the corner of the ceiling in a vault, I don't see how anyone can expect not to endanger their valued 'internal' parts.
Also, airflow concerns me. The cpu/gpu's with fans should work just as well as inside a case if not better, but the passively cooled elements (motherboard, hard drive, passively cooled gpu) could overheat without air moving over them. I'd like to know if this has been an issue.
