Question on Frag Box Style Computers

[Bush]

I'm looking at building a "fragbox" style computer. I've been out of the computer building scene for about 4 years now. I decided to buy computers instead of building them, I purchased a nice alienware a couple years ago. However it is a full tower and I want to build a micro for lan party's ect. for the ease of transportation.

 

Does anyone have a recomondation? I went to zipzoomfly and found a shuttle xpc sn 95g5.

 

Thanks in advance,

BushMaster

Check that out, it's a little more costly than most cube cases, but the advantage is that it takes a std power supply and mobo, which opens your options BIGTIME. You'll find that most cube cases have a special power supply that is in most cases no more than 300w, with alot of them coming in at 250w.

 

Not the mention the advantages of choosing your own mobo and cpu combo.

 

I'm up in the air between buying and building a cube case, but if I buy, it will most likely be this one. I may just build my own custom creation out of wood, with some fancy jointery and inlays and stuff.

I like everything about that setup, besides the Falcon Frag Box emblem. Mabe I can contact them and have them make me one with out it.

 

520w, power supply that they offer would be nice too, my design includes alot of lights and fans.

 

I like the wood design concept.

Unfortunately, I already contacted them about the no logo box, they don't offer it. What I do wanna do though, and maybe two heads are better that one, is do some googling and try to find the company that makes them for Falcon, i'm sure they are not manufacturing them themselves. Those kinds of companies will usually offer the same product without logos, and a little more plain, which is what I want.

Lets work together on this one.. I will do some research, I have resource's that can help us out on this..

 

Trust me they don't make them internally, like you said we can find out whom does.

I will help you too....

 

My only ? is that if I got this case could I just use all my current computer stuff for this or would I have to get all new components?

You should be fine, that's the beauty of that case, it takes a standard microatx mobo and powersupply.
