Late Night Hardware Foolery
-
So I was up a little later than I should have been, considering I'm sick.
-
I've heard of pizza box servers but....
-
New meaning to "Fire it up"...
-
When the grease on the box stars cooking again, you will know the server is too hot.
-
It's even got a "stealth" 5.25" bay, the flaps open up when the disk is ejected. I was bored and I wanted to repair the machine anyways, but a GPU I was going to put into it didn't fit into the case it was currently in (hooray for the ever-annoying half-height PCIe slots...), so I improvised. Order pizza, anyone?
-
@Mike-Ralston so I improvised. Order pizza, anyone?
Would love to have that...
Pizza delivery to Philippines
-
Now just make a full-fledged pizza box case and you can sell it for millions!
haha! -
@Terra haha sure! If I used all Mini ITX parts, I could probably contain it in the box...
-
Well done! There's more than one way to skin a PC...

I'm surprised you don't have a conductivity issue - maybe carboard is more electrically neutral than I though?

It would be unless it had picked up moisture - ambient air humidity will give paper products (cardboard) a varied about of conductivity. Higher the moisture, the higher the conductivity.

Cardboard is often used as an insulator. It is made or carbon and air - popular insulators.

Not to mention it's Low voltage DC, very little will conduct it unless it's very conductive - IE Metal, none distilled water etc.

I was worried about this, so I ran some extra wire and I'm now using the speaker as a ground. Its casing is metal, so it works well. The whole thing is safe, and rather comical.
