Custom Boxes

[seanfmglobal]

Hey guys, this is my first post sorry but I like to get down to business. I was curious about building a custom box for my desktop to fit it into a small location. I am looking to custom build a box for a small desktop. Something that needs to fit in a relatively small space. Searching custom boxes doesn't seem to help. I was curious what other people have used to create there boxes from scratch. I'm not going to purchase one because I am placing this desktop inside of my vehicle. I was thinking sheet metal and rivets but figured not a good idea to have a metallic box. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate them. Thanks again.

A micro-ATX computer might fit your needs...

You could build your own box that fits the specs of a micro-ATX case and put micro-ATX hardware inside.

You could go to the salvation army and look for some old cable boxes but you will still need to modify. If you are handy with tools and such. take your measurements with you. It also depends on your hardware also because cooling can be a concern. I made a custom mini itx out of an old cookie tin box and it turned out pretty good. Power Supplies Kits
