OK, let's see how creative everyone here is...
I have everything I need to build a computer except a case. I don't want to buy one, can anyone recommend some good alternatives to cases?

I remember once I built a conputer inside a table, but that thing was HUGE and I don't have a table I can drill holes in

ok nows a challenge :lol:

i remember reading an article is PCPLUS www.pcplus.co.uk a few months ago where they built one that looked like an ammunition box. if i remember rightly it had something to do with half life 2

it might have even been pc format magazine. www.pcformat.co.uk

any old stereos around the house?
Maybe an old VCR you no longer use?

That microwave looks ready for replacement.

come to think, maybe I shouldn't have returned that broken down microwave to the store when buying a new one a few months ago...
Remove the glass door and put a 15" flatscreen in its place, with a DVD writer mounted next to it...
Everything else vertically in the electronics bay, should be more than enough room.

stop it!!! now you're inspiring me. think my mum oughta watch her stuff.:lol:

She'd hardly notice if she's a good mum and does real cooking :cheesy:

well shes an ok cook.

saying that though i wish this thread had been posted earlier because my brother blew his hifi up and i was wondering what else i could use it for. he's binned it now:evil:

They've done everything from a WinXP retail box to a dvd player to even a sega genesis. Very entertaining to browse through their hundreds of original PCs.
