Auxiliary

Build Description

This was a build for a computer at a second home designed for browsing and productivity processing. It is the first attempt at a custom case case which is designed to fit into drawer sized opening in a console style desk.

Favorite Feature

It is a minimal build with no mechanical parts other than a fan. The orientation of the Main Board is reversed to eliminate the need for a front panel, although a USB extension was added out the "back" for the printer and camera. I also added a remote switch which is more convenient since I mounted it close to the keyboard and mouse. This was an inexpensive case using scrap materials. The metal screen on top was the most expensive material--$16!
