Glass Computer Case?

Hello





i am going to build a custom glass computer case for my


dell dimension 9150 500watt antec power supply


8800gt 512mb 2GB DDR2 533mhz 4x512MB creative audigy intel pentium d 3.4ghz 250GB hard drive





to be pacific shower door glass (clear) so you can see the hardware inside etc, and my pc will also stand out from other peoples ones, people say i should use stainless glass or perspex (sorry for spelling) what do you think? there are some risks to the project e.g. if my hardware goes so does the case lol, plus i have to think about things like cooling air flow etc other wise it will be like a green house in there not good for the computer at all

That sounds very cool, although a glass sounds like it would be very hard to work with and somewhat delicate. Try something like plexi-glass or acrylic. That should work like plastic but be clear like you want. If you are concerned with cooling, just follow standard case fan setup, one in lower front, one is upper rear and then another one on the top of the case. You'd probably have better luck making the inside width 5.25 inches so that you can directly mount the DVD drive and if you put the power supply at the bottom of the case so you don't have to figure out how to mount that. Side fan is up to you.





Sounds like you have a very nice project going, good luck!Glass Computer Case?
Have seen it done in perspex, which can be glued together and easily cut and drilled. I think it will be important to take care with earthing, as your case will not be metal.
