In the age of computer technology, it is impossible to imagine life without a computer or any other multimedia gadget. Those who understand computer hardware assemble computers for themselves, giving them certain characteristics that they need to complete their tasks. Some modify their computers, so to speak, in their own shirt, and some go further and make system units in various variations. So the author decided to independently upgrade his system unit, giving it an exclusive, attractive and creative look.
For the basis of the systematic, the author used a wooden rounded square. This can be found in the subwoofers. They are naturally longer, but if you have a hacksaw for wood or a nozzle for a grinder, it will not be difficult to reduce its size to the one you need.
the next step is to make a groove around the entire perimeter of the workpiece into which the wall of the system unit will lie. For this you need a chisel and a hammer. If there is a mill on the farm, then things will go even faster, and the result will be much better.
Next, in the upper part of the workpiece, we begin to cut an opening for two fans with an electric jigsaw. If there is more and more space, you can install more. It doesn’t hurt. The place of the future drink is marked and along the border of the saw cut off either electrical tape or masking tape. This is to prevent chips and burrs on the surface. A hole is drilled for a jigsaw file and sawed. We insert the fans and see how they are located. If everything suits you, then fine. If not - bring to mind - grind and so on. For further work, it is necessary to remove them and set aside for a while, as during the rest of the work, they will interfere with you.
Next, we determine where and in what sequence you will have the remaining connectors - USB, space for a hard disk, and so on. Everything is cut in the same way as described above.
One of the walls of the system unit is installed.
Next, install all the components.Fasten everything to small wood screws.
The metal wall is attached to the base and fixed. From the inside, they are also attached to the corners.
Now a hole is drilled in the wall for the power button.
We assemble and fix the strips on which all the connectors are located.
Next, we make the legs. They are cut from the same material that you use to build the hull. We glue them to the bottom and wait for drying. For a stronger connection, you can drill through holes in the legs and not through holes in the body. And to put all this on self-tapping screws.
We connect the power button and put the wall in place.
The author made the second wall of dark transparent plastic. I placed an LED strip around the perimeter. When you turn on the computer, it lights up and all the insides are visible. Pretty enough and unusual. When turned off, the system unit has a strict look.
And that’s what happened after all the work was completed. In my opinion it is very interesting and unusual. I wish you good luck in modifying your computers.
