I would put a fan in the back where people look the least and maybe some vents in the front that look like a grill.

Wow I honestly had no idea that people actually spend their time sitting down and crafting their own computer cases :roll:

I wish I could buy one done. The fitting part is the difficult part. I have plenty experience doing the car cases. They are pretty big, but you couldnt fit a big sized mobo IMO.

For those that are partial to Apples... presenting the Tatra Mac
A G4 processor, Ethernet ports in the handrests, 802.11, GPRS, GPS, telematics and more in a Tatra 613 sedan. The installer really took pains in doing a neat and tidy job.

Probably off topic as hardly anyone seems to use macs , nor does it have that much cred with the hoi polloi. :cry:

that is really mad! definately no where near as good as the H2 posted earlier, but still pretty damn cool. love the blue headlights, and fan on bonnet is pretty different.

all in all, well done to the guy that did it, pretty good for a first timer

Judging my the headlights and logo, I think it is a DTMPower version.

I doubt the Bangle Tail design will fit well in a computer case ...unless the powersupply got mutated or something
