Re: [PLUG] Computer Case recommendations?


Check out the Lubic kits (http://www.lubic.com.tw/lubic-kit/).  I built
an airplane case for my sons school which had quite an impact.  WIth the
MB & H/W out in the open, my thoughts were that this would be a great
way to see what things are and walk through how the system works.  I
loaded it with SuSe 9.2 (current at the time) so even the Computer Lab
teacher  was interested.  I bought it through zipzoomfly.com and the
only recommendation for additions would be some lucite/plexiglass cover
around the H/W.
