| Re: Open platform case? It's a great solution for a server or pc in the right environment. Such as a well cleaned room that is used specifically for keeping pc's. Around the house however, it would be very risky for reasons stated above.

| Re: Open platform case? I think they where developed for testing parts and for high end clean room type users. They could be used to build a custom case, by using it as a internal frame and then building a case around it.

| Re: Open platform case? everything sure would stay cool, though. those things are neat, but yeah...they are more like test benches. that website also has tuniq towers on sale for 41.99 if anyone needs a new hsf.

| Re: Open platform case? $80 for a pc with no sides? You'd think it'd be cheaper...

| Re: Open platform case? Well I saw a case on this sight that looks like a square frame with Fans on one side and covered with plexiglass but that was around £150 but with a frame like that and some pop rivets and stuff I could make one for 2/3's the cost.
