Out of the many, many PC based cabinets I have built only one ever suffered a heat death and it was a decased one. |

It did not die on me, it died about a year or two after I sold it at superauctions. Saw it on ebay with a brand new PC in it and asked them what happened. |

I always decase because it looks better and seems more authentic. Having said that, I'm building a cab for my wife's friend and I'm keeping it cased for simplicity's sake. |

My current builds / redos have all been left in the case. Now when I built my first cab in 2003 (which I will make a project thread for so we can all have a good laugh at my expense) I used parts that I had acquired but had no case for. The computer ended up dying in 2008 and I can't figure it out. But I can't tell you how many times I bumped the cpu fan and vid card or dropped a tool while I was still tinkering with the cab. If the pc is cased and should something ever go wrong all that is required is unplugging a few cables and bring the unit to the bench. good day. |
