Moving components out of the case can help saving space You can store everything in the top part of the cab, like in a barcade and keep the bottom for storage -> I was afraid it may put the cab out of balance but it is not the case |

There is no real point in putting your computer inside a cab still mounted in a case. Yes it is easier because everything is mounted but you begin to run into heat issues. And I am finding these to be very useful in my cab. Also. Caparo how did you hack the DCCK to get you wireless? I used to work for DTV and never heard of anyone reverse engineering the DCCK. |

Several people here have just stated the opposite based on experience. I don't see how you would have any additional heat issues, in fact you probably get better and more consistent airflow over your components with a case on due to the fan configuration. |

( btw ima DTV TECH). Oohhh PRO. |

Interesting. It makes perfect sense. Aholfe. I'm not saying I'm dead set against putting a computer in a cab is wrong I just think it, to me, is redundant. It probably is the easy way to go. I guess I just like the original look it gives when mounting straight to the cab. And yes I agree air flow is fine but if you are blowing hot air out from the computer case directly into the confines of the cab then you would be pulling hot air in defeating the cooling process. |
