>Tech cels should not be allowed near wood ever.
Jesus christ what's with the unnecessary polarized "us vs them" tribalism?
As though there's no overlap between people who like to do DIY and also play video games or set up home servers or whatever.
Just because you're only good at one thing doesn't mean everybody is. Project your insecurities elsewhere, my man.
I could probably as easily post your feeble attempt at a PC and post "Tradecucks should not be allowed near technology ever"
Sure it looks neat however the case is a common ground for every device in the case. If you don't run ground wires you could get weird problems and parts randomly dying.

ah yes, the classic PrepHole electrical genius who does not know shit. "run ground wires" HA AH AHA HAHA AHAHAHAHAHAAHA maybe that's why my hard disk doesn't work, I forgot to run a ground wire. HA AHAHAH AHAHAHAHA AHS
Anon quit being a seething gay, if someone want's to build a popsicle stick PC case, let them have fun.
You are a moron, not because you don't know shit about computers or electricity. But because you don't know shit and make very confident statements. Go ahead homosexual, find me a spec for a PC motherboard,GPU or any other PC component that mentions anywhere it has to be in a metal case. >t. computer engineer
I don't know where you live but here in the first world we make indoor power cabinets out of self-extinguishing zero-halogen ABS plastic and before that we made them out of bakelite.

I'm curious what you think the reason is for it being made out of sheet steel

Anonymous
its not what i think, the reason is dictated by law so to say (and i wrote it above before)
Electromagnetic compatibility. Every piece of electronic sold has to comply with certain norms how much em leakage is allowed, in the states i think its the fcc?
A computer has hundreds of multi ghz traces. The ones sold commercially have to comply these norms too, hence the shielding metal case.
Same as that cabinet, those drives broadcast an array of harmonics, outside the cabinet connections and cables are shielded.
Else it will affect other electronics, in the home that may be a wireless dect phone, shoody installed satelite/cable tv or even 5ghz wifi, on the factory floor old shit like process relevant slow Serial busses of whatever kind

It's not mandated by anything and these things are all regularly sold in plastic enclosures because no one gives a flying frick if there's a detectable 50Hz magnetic field around power wires. Power cables aren't required to be run within earthed steel conduits either. The reason the big boy power cabinets are made out of steel is the same as why commercial buildings are framed with wafer thin pot metal: it's cheaper and still legal.

im not a burger, but i do know there is similar shit. Typically getting Ul certified is a lot more anal then anything else on this planet.
For a fact it is part of the CE Label. if you want to sell gear in the EU you gotta lick that boot

No, I'm telling you categorically that PCs don't need to be in metal cases to get a CE mark and that breakers don't need to be in metal enclosures to get UL listed. These are human safety standards.

Anybody who thinks computers are required to be in metal cases for any reason at all are just fricking idiots. In fact, non-conductive cases can be safer because it means nowhere to accidentally short anything.
Mineral oil/non-conductive fluid full-immersion systems work for that reason, too.

you could just line the inside with aluminum foil if you were actually concerned about RF noise leaking out.
people have been building wood computer enclosures for years now, i can't even think of a reason why people make them out of steel and shit other than it's just because it's how it's always been done.
Because wood insulates heat as opposed to a metal case that acts as a heat sink, and it's probably heavier than a metal case with thin sidewalls. I assume it's also cheaper and easier to bend some steel sheets than to cut and assemble wood.

Stop pretending your average woodworker doesnt pump out garbage like this all the time anyways.

Oh no, he might accidentally shoot someone!
moron.
he built it like someone who doesn't have much tools but he appears to have quite a lot of tools

I would have cut those slots with an angle grinder and cutoff wheel.
T. Metalworker
cutting wood with an angle grinder is how you lose fingers
also he already has a table saw to cut slots
I cut wood, rubber, plastic, and of course metal with an angle grinder... Still have all of my fingers.
I walked around on the edge of the sloped roof of a tall two-story building when I was a kid. I never fell off so clearly it's safe.
Why yes that probably was quite safe. Thank you for understanding.

stfu you have no idea about the subject your larping as educator

Every single device has ground pins in their connectors. The case can be plastic if you like.

just shut the frick up, and bask in the glory of pic related
I mined dogecoin in a plastic milk crate for years. I don't believe you.
Literally every power cable and data cable has a ground wire.

bet my ass the fcc has that spec.
why do you think electrical cabinets are made from metal? hint, its not for the insulation
Because plastic cracks when hit by a rock, which allows rain to get inside, whereas metal deforms and remains sealed.

yep, that degree really at work here

That's why you use both, a wire as the primary ground for that component and the case as a common ground.
OH FRICK ALL SIX OF MY GROUNDS DIED i AM SO GLAD I RAN THAT GROUND WIRE.
lol. stop yelling grandpa
FUUUUUUUCK can any body help me find a computer fan with a metal case I don't trust this ungrounded shit!!!
... then just ground it? Not exactly hard, moron.
reminder to sleep in a grounded bed to prevent the government from implanting thoughts in your brain
Enjoy your dead components.
Don't forget one of the main reasons of a computer case beyond just being a common ground is to protect the circuitry from electromagnetic radiation.

might i ask why you care what your compute box looks like?
Some of us care about what the space we live in looks like.
you live inside of a computer case? dang.
You don't necessarily want a lot of air slots though, many computer cases work on positive pressure that pushes hot air out.
False.
