Project: Framed - 4PC Test System

Here's something I've wanted to do for a long time. I'm working on a 4 PC system test machine. I will be putting 4 complete computer systems in one case. There will be a complete AMD XP and X2 dual core system, also there will be a complete P4 and Intel Core Duo system. Each will have their own Hard Drive, PSU and power button. They will all be able to use one LCD mounted on top. I will just need to adjust the plugs on the back and boot up the system I want to use. Obviously no normal case can hold this many parts so I will be using an organizer I recently bought.
Here's kinda what it'll look like

First I have to cut these off:

This will be pretty cool.

Any plans for cosmetic work with this build TGS? ....just noticed that you have already planned some cosmetic work. Maybe I should learn to read and not be so easily distracted by pictures? :)

[.02] I was thinking about what you might do cosmetic wise (if anything at all? it does look pretty sweet as-is) and I think it would look pretty good with some plexi (AC Ryan UV Green?) placed on either sides? [/.02]

LOL!
I love the "[.02] and[/.02]" lol

Some green UV reactive would be cool

Update: All 4 PC's will use the same keyboard, mouse and monitor via a KVM switch

There will be a lot of plexi. Cathodes are for later.

So begins the fun!

That was easy

And they're off!

Then comes the plexi fitting.

There's one side. I attached it with rivets.

I'll wait to attach the other side till later. I first need to mount the components on plexi "drawers" and slide them in. At the end I will attach the other side panel with screws.

I think this has mega potential, I love the shape of that frame. Go TGS go!

I found this old topper to my Mother-Bored PC to help with my intake.

I slid it into the bottom and since cold air settles on the bottom it'll be a primo place to have air sucked up and in.

Lookin' good! Love the idea - I'll be watching this one.

What socket of A64 will you be using this with?

Nice project but... You stole my mod name!


Nah it's cool considering my project Framed is on hiatus. The laptop I was going to use died and I have like 3+ other projects, I will finish it eventually...

I actually like this project a lot. Seen these racks for sale before, never thought of using one as a computer case. Good luck with it.
