So last week me and my friends were headed to school when i saw this sticking out of someone's trash can.
A quick google search showed that this thing is actually worth about 300$ brand new so my first thought was to fix it up and sell it but then i had a better idea. A few pieces are missing so i figured i would use that to my advantage and turn it into a case. Let me know what you think!
Yes, will be hard. Now I must do a Star Trek case.

Well, it's plastic, so it would melt INCREDIBLY easily, plus you wouldn't have much room for cooling at all, let alone a Hyper 212 EVO.
Although, if you get it to work well, I'll be impressed.
I don't know to much about heating/cooling, but couldn't he cut some holes for the fans and put some kind of insulation on the inside to keep the plastic from melting?

If i can get the processor to sit in the center there is a perfect spot for a low profile cooler. As for fans i will have on on the bottom drawing heat away from the back of the processor, one 80 mm on each side, and there are a bunch of small "exhausts" on the back of the it and i was thinking about getting a bunch of really small fans to put in each of those. I will probably insulate some areas but other than that i don't think it will get that hot. Most plastics melt at temperatures upwards of 100 C and it shouldnt get about 70 C

Yeah, i'll probably make it a year long project. Do it.
Do what? Do this?
