GiantKiller | 12th August 2005 12:17 | Selfmade,low budget, cube case This was the easiest way of having a 'cubecase'.
Payed 50€ for the two cases. (25€ each)
Mounted them together.
Made with a jigsaw at the top two squares. (120mm)
Removed the motherboard tray out of the right case. (This will be easer to place everything in order.
Made in the left door a square. So frech air can enter.
Why ? My motherboard and northbrigde became to hot. With two nexus fans of 120m, it is much better.
In the left case:
Motherboard Asus a7n8x
Barton 2800+
1 Gb DDRam memory
2 nexus fans of 120mm to cool the motherboard, northbridge and memory.

PSU 450w (for motherboard, CD, DVD, Harddisk) 1 x 120mm fan out
In the right case:

Black Ice Pro Radiotor (Hwlabs)
Alu fan of 120mm
