[@WJCTechyman]

Well, when I took some electronic engineering technology one of my professors quoted the K.I.S.S. rule, if Alex was an engineer, he should have thought of a "desktop" case with the components laying horizontal. Actually, both teams should have. I don't understand this obsession with building towers as towers don't really fit in entertainment systems as much as desktop computers and I was glad that my HP's Elite Desk system and even my older HP Compaq have the option of tower or desktop modes. The older one the drives could be swapped out and rotated 90 degrees without tools to flip from one orientation to the other.

I'd let them have my cardboard Strix 1080Ti if they do

[@MajorSkrewup]

and hardline watercooling

[@harrison00xXx]

easiest and probably "best case" is still a motherboard packaging at all. I fitted a midclass blower style cpu cooler (which is also the only intake fan!) and a regular psu and a 3,5" HDD in such a package, only for GPUs a low profile card is needed or probably a bigger box, at least all my motherboards had barely the same size of packaging. I ended up with a GPU sticking out a bit of the box,but it was a damn nice small casing and also "portable" with the handles of the original box. Still all i needed was a more silent media PC and everything lying around was also no real option. Since everything fitted tight in the box, the cooling was also efficient since the only fan, the CPU fan blew air with more speed over the whole mainboard part.

[@Nathan-cd3fw]

Lowkey i want them to spend a lot of time on a cardboard case that actually comes out perfect

[@KiraSlith]

I was thinking that too. You really could build a awesome PC case out of cardboard given unlimited time, tape, and some nuts n bolts to hold the motherboard up.

[@AshokKumar21]

It's really worth modding a ps2 like this because you can also just put a HDD in the back of the ps2 and load them that way. When I want to feel the experience of opening the case, peeking at the manual as the disc loads in the tray, I do that. But for most part is easier/ faster to use the software "opl" on ps2.

I'd love to see a remake of this where each team has like 12 hours. I feel like there was potential to make some really good cases here, but not enough time. Could even combine it with scrapyard wars, have a week long competition where you buy the parts and then make the case of of cardboard.

[@MidWitPride]

It will probably be fine. There really aren't any parts of the PC that come to close contact with the cardboard that would be hot enough to ignite it. Unless you somehow manage to create sparks, but that's not really cardboards fault at that point. According to the German transport information service: "Corrugated board is combustible and should therefore be protected from flying sparks. Smoking must be strictly prohibited. The fire point is 258°C, the ignition temperature 427°C."
