Jul 4, 2012 · The case I want is not available till September (Fractal Node 304) So in the mean time I found a small cardboard box I can use as a computer case. This would be for a Intel H77 mini ITX, 3770K, 8GB Ripjaws 1600 cas 7 memory and 128GB Vertex 4 and a 400W Neo Eco powersupply. I will be putting a 140mm fan to push air in and out.

Apr 30, 2003 · I know the Japanese have doors made out of paper but PC cases? here or is the link if you are interested in seeing it. You have to wait a while for all the pics to load. The cardboard case is close to the bottom. Better pics here at Overclockers.com.au but you must sign up as a member to...

Aug 9, 2012 · There doesn't appear to be any way to observe behind the installed motherboard to check for clearance with that case. The cardboard will have an imprint on it if there are clearance issues. The thinner the better. If I understood earlier posts it works outside of the case with both slots filled. Maybe I've misunderstood.

Mar 15, 2003 · Can this cause static damage? Assume that as you are removing the bags from the cardboard packaging, they have a "static" feel to them, and do make some "static" sounds as you open them. I'm going to guess that since the drive enclosures (if made of metal) spread out any charges (like an anti-static bag), the hardware inside is safe.

Feb 14, 2012 · A case can provide a sort of "wind tunnel" effect where air is intentionally directed to flow in a specific way to keep your components cooler. Without that wind-tunnel effect, such as without a case at all or a poorly-designed case, you could potentially get higher temperatures than if you had used the case with nice airflow.

May 14, 2000 · I have used cardboard, an old magazine, newspaper, foam rubber, plastic sheet, and plywood. I do this everytime I assemble a new unit. I use the motherboard, a CPU with HS/F, some RAM, and an old PCI video card to power it up enough to check jumper settings and such.

Apr 24, 2001 · You could also use the white or gray colored cardboard, for instance, like the material used for the retail package of an SSD, a hatbox, shoebox, etc. Offhand, I would think such a piece of cardboard would need to be secured to the spare I/O plate (with additional modding cuts to make it hole-compatible with the hand-made match to the motherboard).

Feb 26, 2012 · My pc worked fine for months now all of a sudden it starts turning off and reboot itself. I thought it was the videocard, wich was very dirty. I cleaned the videocard completely with aceton, put it back and the pc booted again. Then in speedfan the videocard was also a lot cooler, so i thought problem solved. Now, the pc won't even turn any more.

Jun 4, 2013 · I'm going to go the thin cardboard with aluminum + duct tape route. Going all out here. And I'm doing it mostly for cosmetic reasons. Is that so wrong? Irony being the case I'm installing the motherboard in came in damaged (but I was able to bend it back into shape... yay for thin-gauge steel). Pretty sure it was UPS's fault.
