A pizza box is oly about 1-2 inches deep is it safe to try it???? the only problem we can think of is that a pizza box is enginer to keep heat in so how can i cool it down??? should i still try it or desing my own box to look ike a pizza box but still eliminate heat????? im just so excited to get started but i im nervous and i have a lot of questions before i begain any help will b apreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted September 29, 2006 CID Share Posted September 29, 2006 thats gonna be tight man....... 1st - you can forget about good cooling 2nd - is your ram gonna be able to clear those 2 inches LOL !? 3rd- forget about any addon pci cards or anything of that kind 4th - unless you go with a mobile cpu, since you cant fit a ful size heatsink on there....forget about it anything else i can think off ? power supply ? - how are you gonna fit that in the pizza box LOL ?

dmenckowski Posted September 29, 2006 CID Share Posted September 29, 2006 You should look online for 1U server parts. We have called them pizza boxes for years. Have you considered having a 12pack of beer box connected to the top. This will allow you the use of a standard PS and some additional MB room for a CPU fan.

MYRIAGON Posted September 29, 2006 CID Share Posted September 29, 2006 Dark06 Would this be cheating ? Find a cheap used/old laptop and tear it apart amd drop the guts in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
