    Re: SuitCase PC. :/

    Nice Idea. You'll need some ventilation in that, both for the PSU and maybe an additional fan as it will probably get a bit stuffy in there. Also, you might want to make a hole for the rear ports on the motherboard so you don't have to open it up every time you want to plug something in.
    I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

    No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards

          I hate to interrupt someone who is having fun, but they make these things called 'notebook computers'. Even have an LCD display.

          For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

          Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

            This has more style, though . Definitely unique.

            My only concern is the CPU heatsink - not sure how well those brackets will hold it should the suitcase be moved around a lot.
            But other than that, it looks good. Maybe have a display in the other half of the suitcase. Then it would be just like a laptop (only somewhat bigger ).

                    You reminded me that I have to get around to building a portable server in a meduim sized ammo box some time. I got the SCSI disk array to boot.

                      It may not be costing you money but it is costing you time and effort.
                      Remember to assess your own value. You might be "paying" yourself with fun, amusement and experience. Try to make sure you "profit" from it.

                      It's a curious project. Best of luck.

                            I just got a new suitcase, so I am thinking of trying a similar thing with my old one.

                                        Phaihn, How are you going with your suitcase so far? I've nearly got mine done. I just need some RAM and a small enough monitor to fit in the top (about 15" square for 16" Widescreen)
                                        I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

                                        No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards
