I looked into using a 1u psu and while there are two good options I would prefer to deal with an atx psu for two reasons. First, it'll be easier to transfer to a normal itx case just in case this project doesn't work out. Secondly, with the type of psu you suggested I could have brought down...

I've been shifting between using aluminium and plywood and even some designs which use a combination of both such as a plywood base with aluminium walls. It's a quadro gpu which I use for work mostly but I do game on it sometimes. I plan to do a lot of airflow testing to see what gives the best...

I had a rough weight of 500g for the screen so I guess that I can keep it that. I've come up with a design that will allow me to use 1cm to 1.25cm plywood: http://i.imgur.com/pXlEv0g.jpg?1 The top part shows how the base will look, it's 40cm x 35cm, has a 2cm thick border around and the bits...

A 17.3" laptop screen is what I've planned to fit into the case but I can't seem to find a rough estimate on what these panels weigh.

If it was easy as just buying a laptop I would have totally done that by now but it's not suited for what I do and where I do it. With a desktop I'll have a better cpu, workstation graphics, way better temperatures at load and it also happens to be much cheaper especially because the graphics...

The completed case needs to be about 7kg because it will be taken on planes as carry on. I've estimated the parts to come to about 5kg which does leave 2kg remaining but I added 10% just in case there are things which I haven't accounted for. This leaves 1.5kg for the case though I could...

A flight case would make the whole process easier but I haven't come across a case which is around 1.5kg, all have been above 2kg. I actually did consider having fans on the side of the case but I would have to use 80mm or 90mm fans and I really didn't want to use them. As for reinforcement, I...

If I'm keeping the case flat on a desk and there are heavy components in it will it bow? As I'm trying to keep the height of the case low all the components will be mounted horizontally so any airflow from the bottom will only cool the back of the moherboard and gpu backplate which is no use...

To deal with the heat I intend to install 3 120mm fans on the top panel of the case which will push fresh air down towards the cpu and gpu area and out through vent holes on the sides. What sort of temperatures can plywood stand?

Hello everyone, I'm looking to build a portable pc case with built in screen out of 4mm thick baltic birch plywood and I was wondering if it will be rigid enough to hold about 5kg worth of parts in a box with a 40cm x 35cm base and a height of 9cm? The other alternative is to construct a case...
