Case I assembled

[123456]

I just spent 3 hours concocting this together. I didn't have a case for the motherboard, so I decided it would be fun it do it myself. I found these cubicle storage wire frame boxes in the basement, so I used that. I had these Lego-like things that I used to attach and mount the motherboard to the "case." I screwed in the power supply. I used old wires to tie the drives, bolster the motherboard in place, and hold the power fan.

Computer specs:
PIII 700MHz
128mb SD-RAM
20GB Hard drive
32mb nVidia TNT2 RIVA Model 64 video card
Integrated YAMAHA sound
Modem
Realtek 8139C network card
DVD-ROM drive

My mother won't let me connect it. She thinks it's a "hazard." :mad:

Anyways I disassembled the cube. I put together this out of an old 50-CD changer.

I have an old slot 1 1GHz P3 just like that down in the basement. I used to run 98 on it for awhile to do tests on, and just to play.

I also have a pair of those Harmon-Kardon speakers on my main system that my wife paid a ton of cash for years ago. They still sound good. :)

I received a motherboard, so I put that in the case the PIII mobo was originally in.
