Default Brand New Custom Case!!!

Uber Samsonite is a custom PC case built and designed by myself from an aluminum tool case 18”x13”x6”. I made all the brackets, mounting hardware and hinges out of steel 1/16” sheet metal. Designed as an easy-to-move, all in one computer for LANs and anyplace else you’d like to take a pc instead of a laptop. A clear Plexiglas covers the components inside the case. On the top of the case there is connections for Ethernet, a 4 port USB hub and speaker connection. The inside back side of the case has been reinforced to support the weight of the monitor mounted in the lid along with the custom hinges hold the lid open and better handle the weight then the stock hinges.

Specs: Uber Samsonite has a Chaintech 7NJL6 mobo with an AMD Athlon XP 3000+, 1024MB of PC2700DDR memory powered by a 400watt power supply. It also has a Sony 16x DVD/CD burner, 160gig Samsung SATA150 hard disk. A Diamond Stealth S120 Radeon 9550 128mb DDR connects via VGA to the 17” Soyo LCD monitor with built in speakers and a 16ms response time.

I have had a hankering to build one similar to that.
Neat, compact, and very portable.

Looks cool to me.

Does someone have Thrasher2 tied up somewhere? Should we send out a search party?
