Briefcase Case
What think you of my Computer Case Idea?
I want to turn an old briefcase into a computer case with the cords running through the side of the case. I also am thinking of putting the display inside of the case. Do you think this is feasibly possible?
1. Very cool idea.
2. Make sure you provide for cooling. Briefcases hold in heat very very well and you don't want to fry your cool new computer.
3. Make diagrams and lay everything out first using a free CAD program like Google Sketch-UP
4. Read the links below of people who tried a similiar briefcase design. Improve on their mistakes, and make yours something really special.
