Oh, I trust you. I'm starting to feel it piling up already :o

I've decided to get one for my next rig. Unless i find a case that will serve my each and every need or i decide to build my own, then i will be getting hte Tech Station.

Should be intersting. If you are going to use it for 24/7 use in a permanent system, might I suggest fashoning some kind of a plexiglass case to slide over the top of it? Might be good to help protect the stuff in the case from flying screws or spraying water...

Yea. Im thinking of making a shroud of some sorts. We'll see, i've still got a long ways to go before i buy one.

I'd start with something similar to below - cut a 'U' in the back so you can route the cables from the enclosed system out to the monitor and wall outlets. A hole would work as well, but the 'U' allows you to lift the case off without unplugging anything, and thus maintaining the convenience afforded by a Tech Station.

From there, mod the ends for airflow. Cut a rectangle around where the two 120mm fans are located, and perhaps another rectangle on the other end for the air to escape. Put a handle on the top, and you're all set:

Exactly what I was thinking too. Something like that would definately work well. You could have the best of both worlds! :thup:

That could turn out very well! Shouldn't be too hard right? A heatgun or a heat strip and some nice acrylic. Could be done, i'll think about it.

Thanks for that.
