You want to talk about janky cases - the last PC I built is in a cardboard box. And I don't mean in pieces. Everything is bolted to the cardboard like a normal case. It was meant as a temporary home before going into a custom arcade that I never got around to. Now the entire thing could be powered by a Raspberry Pi, so the cardboard box PC remains.

[@randominternetuser5123]

that was a very risky move lmao

[@bluespartan076]

@@randominternetuser5123 Might be a little risky indeed, due to flammability of cardboard.

Haha, I was just as puzzled and annoyed about that SD card Adapter. I contacted the seller, but it was all lost in translation. One alternative is using one of these 5.25 HDD drive bays. Put the SD Card Adapter in there. It's quite convenient as you can access it from the front.

[@LGR]

It really is a mind-boggling layout, like did anyone test it in a typical expansion slot at all?! And yeah I'm planning a front-mounted thing at this point, just gotta find one that's fitting :)

[@philscomputerlab]

LGR Someone got fired... I do remember seeing them disappear, and only another model was available. Without rear bracket, just a plain board.

[@ionstorm66]

A simple solution would be to shorten the bracket, bent a new tab, and drill the hole. I dont know how rigid it would be though with just the top screw and no bottom slot. Also it would work perfect in the cases that had a pci slot off to the side for the serial/parallel header adapters, or if you had a smaller motherboard than the case.

The original state of the computer is just like my XP build.

A few years ago I added a "Virtual Boy Ready" sticker as the Oculus Rift first became popular. I'm particularly proud of the Led light strips I have in it to shine through the case to give a red glow behind the fans to make it look like it's overheating.

I'm in the process of rebuilding a trash picked Dell Dimension 4600 with a 2.8Ghz socket 478 Pentium 4, with 4GB of DDR RAM, and my only hurdle other than waiting on parts from eBay has been trying to find a CPU cooler that's not total junk for the 478 platform, and deciding what AGP video card I want for Windows 98se, as I already have one for XP.

Awesomeness this brings back memories when I used to build computers with my dad in the 90's

[@tonijoncevski8607]

Thanks for that. I reminds of the days when I used to mess around with the computer. In 2005 I bought a laptop and lost all the knowledge I had gained. Thanks for the retro memories. :-)

Can't you hack the SD card thingamajig into the blank cover under the floppy drive?

[@kellerrobert80]

Came here to say this. Or Dremel a slot in an extra panel and epoxy the IDE card behind?

[@JohnSmith-xq1pz]

lightpixel probably would work. Done something similar to my pc, has dual floppy bays with removal chassis. One's sporting a multi card reader, the other a 2.5" ssd.

I like taking old cases like that and turning them into modern gaming rigs. I sometimes like to add old fans and hard drives to make it sound like it's old. They don't actually DO anything though.
