The Beast

UnaClocker · 03-15-2001, 05:47 AM

Hey guys.. Wanna know what I'm working on that's coming after the final Little Stealth article?

I scored a BIG AT Server case. I think it's an addtronics, but have yet to get confirmation on that (I need drive rails for it, so I kinda need to figure it out). Anyways, this case will be going fairly stealth, like Little Stealth, but it'll have a window, unlike Little Stealth.. Well, I have alot more info on my page..

http://unaclocker.dhs.org/beast/beast.html
And I have pics on the second page..

I'm open to suggestions, it's a work in progress, and I'll be updating that site every day that I work on the case, including the photo's page..

Una:

Cool...

Looks about the size of my first computer case about 9 years ago. I went out and bought the biggest friggin thing I could find...cost me a shiny copper penny too!

Should give you PLENTY of room to fit everything. Now I kinda wish I still had mine...wouldn't have to be building a custom box at this point.

Heh, I'm definately doing alot of customizing to it.. Hell, it wasn't even ATX when I started..

I emailed Addtronics.. Their site says "100% Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed".. Great, I think that's an Addtronics case, so they HAVE to sell me drive rails and some coverplates for the unused bays, or I won't be satisfied.

hehe..

i've also got 2 old bigtowers...

AT... one is already modded for atx and thats my server now..

the other one was originally an old server case.. so it has the width of an atx.. and the hight of an AT-bigtower..
veerry modable!!

hope all my fans will fit in.

make sure u dont use those plastic mobo fasteners.. THEY SUCK!!!

one day i moved my server and *KLOUNK* the mobo fell down in the case... luckily for me everything still worked fine.. I could even move the mouse

I plan to use some epoxy on the plastic standoffs..

Thanks for the suggestion.

I cut the window into the side of the case today..

Turned out pretty good, I used a Jigsaw rather than 100 dremel discs..

yeah, jigsaws are the shiznit when it comes to windows. Dremels don't even compare.... Oh, you stole my name for my comp. My old mmx 233 was called "the beast" due to it's ability to confound anyone who worked on it. The guys at my work (campus computer store) had me promise I would never bring it in again. Oh well. Good luck with the project, I know you'll make something cool.....or blow it up in the process. Either way, entertaining.

UnaClocker · 03-18-2001, 10:01 PM

Heh, it's pretty much going to be a low-budget monster..

I had a previous computer named The Beast before, it was an AT&T Unix server.. Looked like an ordinary case, but it took 2 people to lift in, and even then it was a pain to carry..
