My System

Re: my first well second homebuilt case

Sounds Pretty innovative. I would say that it would work but a minifridge seems a bit cramped for my liking. You plan on removing quite a bit of the interior of this thing so you should have plenty of room and I have to say it's genious for the cooling benefit. You might run into some problems with venting the cool air so you don't actually condensate some of the interior components but it would be the coolest temp case I've ever seen. How will you mount the I/O panel and PSU around the compressor coils at the rear? Making a motherboard mount with some raised points might be a challenge as well unless you get a peice of an old case and rip out the mounting bracket. Everything else should be pretty easy except for perhaps creating an interior mounting system for the Hard Drives, Optical Drives and Interior Peripherals. The benefit to doing this from your end is that you can actually see the item as you are working on it which is different than trying to invision what you have planned for it from our end. We're going to need lots of pics to see how this project works out....:) It would certainly be quite the challenge and might perhaps be the most remarkable one to date that I have seen on this forum....Best of Luck. Glad to be of any help you might need.
