Once upon a time I had a fireplace in my bedroom, but it was covered with a bit of wood and plaster. The plaster was old and bulging, and one evening I just got the urge to smash it in, so I got a big hammer and attacked it. I was left with a real nasty mess, but have lost the photo of it. I later got some wood and plaster and made an arch top as shown in the little photo below:
After carrying my Lian-Li (PC-7B SE) case to and from uni, the poor thing became quite battered, so I thought I'd chop it up. Although, I didn't actually have to chop it because it's mainly held together with pop rivets, so a bit of drilling here and there and it kind of fell to pieces. Here’s the current state of the shell whose future is still to ascertain:
By disassembling the Lian-Li case I managed to remove the motherboard tray in one piece, which I thought was nice. I mounted this on the wall inside the alcove with just a single self tapping screw so that I could rotate it so it is angled just right. However, I found that this single screw is actually enough to support the tray!! (If anyone actually attempts this you’d probably want four or five screws for a permanent fixing)
Well that’s it really, a bit of a random project I thought I’d share. It won’t be there for long though as I intend on just having a new case in the alcove. However, this is an extremely cool way of mounting your board – it is so easy to change components and reset the CMOS etc...
