I would like to ask all casingless sifus a few question...

1) Where did u place ur casingless pc? eg , in ur room , confined room , living hall, etc..

2) How do you protect ur rig from "disaster" and unwanted trouble. eg. lizards going to ur pc , etc.

3) How is the air flow of casingless pc u think?

4) Do you buy or use any form of "container" to hold ur component? ( If u do have pls recommend me thanks ) eg. hard disk bezel , motherboard box

5) Lastly do you think is casingless is an excellent idea?

1: i put on a small double deck table in my bedroom...
2: make a arcy cover with uv light..
3: using custom make watercooler...
4: put the mobo on the table and make some hole for cabling and put hardisk, psu, drive, pump, radiator at lower deck..just like workbench table...

wat's that 4 short sticks of kaki screwed on the 4 edge of mobo screw holes,
to make the mobo stand/floated when placed on flat surface,

is it custom made, or can buy elsewhere'

what did u mean by double deck? can show a pic?

Bro can show the picture? It must look cool i think.

.. my question is, why go casingless in the first place?
Function over form?

as a casingless user myself, my reason is, my processor fan is too big for the casing, and look unstable when i put it in, looks like pisa tower to me..hahha...maybe the fan is to heavy for the casing..old casing btw..

and its so easy when to assemble any hardware..fix and etc2...becoz im a lazy person...hahah...but maybe temporary only...im planning to buy new casing for my pc...HAF 932 maybe?..ngaaa~~~

wat i can think of are,

1) save space alot!! if you got a simply+small 2 level rack.
top put mobo, btm put psu, hdd, drive, etc.
so, u got a size of ur mobo + 25cm height, cubic vol. for entire rig.
screw 4 roller wheels on btm legs, for easier moving around.

2) can have a ultra short loop for wc setup.

3) for temporary benching, or upgraditis will find it much easier for them.

hmm..right now don't have any pic...my phone got some problem ...i upload it later..
for me it's most suitable due to i always mod my pc..so it same my time and hasle things...
for the screw to hold the mobo..just used ur casing mobo screw and screw it on the table...just make sure u mark it first...

what material must the 2 level rack has 2 be? plastic, alu ? should i get a hard disk bezel to hold hard disk?

hmmm...for me...i take it from my cap ayam casing and mod it to fit at lower deck..u can find this kind of table at kedai perabot...

my case always in my room , no lizard and other pets but only dust need to be avoided

.. think the occassional cicak or lipas is not so much of a concern. think the dust is a killer..

my room no cicak no lipas but have fly come from outside kena sucked into casing by my side panel fan = = (not using the fan grill)

a.. so how do you people solve the dust problem?? u people clean it evry day??

Lizard still a serious problem.. how to solve it a!!!??? fllies.. geewz.. is flies conducter of electricity?

if u got alive cicak,lipas inside ur rig,crawling over ur hardwares,is that not concerning u?

caseless rigs don't have an inside

yup,i know,i realize that.
what i meant is the insects crawling at the system.

Pretty danger. My first PC toasted becaust I place it naked on my desk. Most probably caused by insect? Some chips burned.

Why don't u put a electronic insect chaser things around? HAHAHA!

Fried cicak and lipas!..hehe
Well, if I do have a caseless rig.. it'll be on my table, to reduce the likelihood of cicak or lipas. anyway for my room.. the cicak and lipas usually lepak in the toilet, so i'm quite save. dust is a b****, more mafan to clean..

I'm a used to be Casingless, but for sugestions:

2. no way what so ever to protect it from nature or freakin clumsiness.. you yourself have to be extra careful and try not to eat or drink near your caseless pc....

3. for air flow, I'd have to say it's better actually. I went caseless last time cause I was an active OCer. temps for my Q6600 caseless was as low as it can get without A/C....

4. no need container la. If you want to use container, why don't you use casing instead??? safer... and it's not caseless anymore leh...

5. a) it's great airflow means best for OCing... b) Dusts can get collected faster... seriously faster....

welll... that's my two bit... hope you get the picture... cheers

yes for sure...have to be extra careful!! that why i make arcy just to cover it but it easy to take off...anyway i love to see it running...

1)In my computer room

2) Well nothing actually.Lizard wont visiting my PC..maybe my Delta fans make them scared
Even the worst is ant..

3) I think much better?than the casing user.

4) Hmm mostly put ESD plastic cover.EG: Put motherboard on top of the motherboard box.Between the motherboard box and the motherboard,i put the motherboard ESD Plastic..Same for HDD..

5) Well,different people different answer.But for me,yes.Because if you use high dBA fans,the sound wont be so loud.If put in casing the sound is louder than casingless,this is because the sound is trapped inside the case thus making louder sound.But since im using casingless,there's nothing to trap the sound thus bit lower the sound.
EG:The fans actual dBA is 55.08dBA..
if using casingless maybe got around 45.09dBa..(JUST example)..
But yeah,dust is your main enemy now..But since its casingless,its not so hard to clean..Usually maybe Twice a month or once a month..

pics pls..at least we have something to show off

here one example pic...

Why dont you just buy a casing?

my tangan always gatal...that why i prefer casingless...

at least get the lubic kit

no bajet la bro...beter use cheeper stuff or recycle one...much2 better..

Your tangan gatal because you wan to take out and put back you hardware is it? With casing also can. Nowadays casing no need to use screw driver also can open the side casing.

wow... self made?

imo,caseless pc is best for people who do a lot of benchmarking.
always changing hardwares to test and benchmark.
but again,different people different taste

i'm second that...

Open case very noisy lah.

u can refer to Coolice regarding this matter. he got ain't casing for his rig, since he is doing benchmarking a lot....

clean all the dust first if you having noisy fan..because my pc, dun have any anoyying noisy sound.....hehe...

just use moderate speed fans if u want to run ur rig naked.
super high cfm fans?? Sure annoying....

not recommended for those who running highend pc

who say casingless meaningless...





used to eat/drinks, put tupperware just like where i put my Twister there...

@amdathlon what is this >> ESD plastic cover ?
How do u people clean ur pc? You people use a vacumn cleaner or just use a clean dry cloth n simply wipe?

lol.. nice ..... but quite messy

yup..no time to tidy it up yet...

i maybe one in 100 that won't change to LCD

that's sick'
you used what to korek ur table to bore hole?!?!

and did i see a diy water block?
that's an alu. heatsink sealed by acrylic = waterblock?

use drill and steel saw....he3...yup..DIY waterblock...that one just on testing..still got others...all custom made...no money to buy better try do it myself...

dude, this thread is like the sickest ever!!! you guys rock!! casingless PC users are like hippies of the PC user world. or more like naturalist or nudist. wakaka.. juz joking. well, its a great idea juz putting your hardware on the table.. then everyone can see it.. no more headaches on whether you need to hav a window or not.

How are you going to go to LAN party without a case ? LOL just bring your table along........................................ =D

I've been running bare for couple of weeks already.
My mobo went for RMA, too lazy to put my spare board into my case, so just decided to run bare.

Lanparty? Just drag the syste ove part by part lor...

mine too.. will have pix soon

can juz dump it carefully into a cardboard box if you need to carry it to a LAN party..

cardboard box is lighter than aluminium.. thats the discovery of the century!!!

.. no need la just hug the motherboard n go lan party.. assemble on the spot... very yeng..

u go youtube and search caseless pc.. got 1 person so creative one, he make naked pc and cover with junkyard thinggy lOL

1) Where did u place ur casingless pc? eg , in ur room , confined room , living hall, etc..
-> any where as long its on the table..

2) How do you protect ur rig from "disaster" and unwanted trouble. eg. lizards going to ur pc , etc.
-> doesnt care about lizards and insects... care more about housemate ter-spill water only..

3) How is the air flow of casingless pc u think?
->great... using fanless cooling for the proc... doesn't care bout the temp of it as the temp is still ok..

4) Do you buy or use any form of "container" to hold ur component? ( If u do have pls recommend me thanks ) eg. hard disk bezel , motherboard box
->just putting the mobo on top of the mobo box, with a sponge underneath which comes with the mobo box

5) Lastly do you think is casingless is an excellent idea?
->not a bad idea if no one is to come near the com, easier to troubleshoot hardware, test others hardware as i fix com for friends sometime, looks cool too... best if placed in an air-con room coz less dust and using fanless cooling..

Well ah, if you got kids at home, this is a bad idea. My friends PC fried cuz the kid TUANG a glass of water to the PC... Cuz he kinda mad cuz hid brother using the PC and don't give him a chance ... so, a casing can save your life... aha

I don't dare to put it naked as well, cuz the kid at home... He love to spay water at me when he bath... More worst, he open my room's door and... SHIT!!! Water everywhere in my room...

do anyone have casingless lcd,mouse or keybord instead of cpu??

not yet at the moment...maybe next time...he3

I want to join the casingless clubz.

lol.. should somebody create a casingless club?

guys.. some noob questions here..
newbie here tat wanna take out everything from case for modding.. hehe..

1. how u guys turn on ur pc without the power button???
2. how u guys put ur mobo?? can jus put it on the table?? will it spoilt the mobo??

1: short the power switch on the mobo (the 2 pin which is supposed to be connected to the case power button)
2:put ur mobo on ur mobo box, or put it above of anti static plastic, or put it above some sponge from the mobo box..

Someone open casingless club if you creative enuff, so we can share idea how to make casingless not become meaningless

yup...i like to joint.....

hardcore nocase master

ye la tu....ko pon sama gak...he3

i am currently casingless as my lovely Silverstone TJ07 still modded by uncle ianho. good thing my mobo has power and reset button readily available on the mobo itself, as well as modular power supply. Modular power supply is essential for better cable management.

essential??? god no.

it helps a little.....but definitely not essential....more like negligible


ive done better cable management with non-modular compared to modular...both on the same case. heck..the non-modular had even more hardware than the modular




EDIT: forgot to add....

whats TRULY essential for cable management is....



This post has been edited by mADmAN: Nov 19 2008, 04:37 PM

yep yep i agree with that

yup....cable ties most practical...he3...have used a lots of it..easy to use..cheap also....

i'm now casingless..





heh...

nice one

but this thread seriously against casing & modification thread

coz its casingless

hahahah

thats it??? thats all ur gonna post????

this is what i did last time..you may take as reference..LOL..
hahahhaha

casingless user? wats tat =.=

guys, how to switch on pc without power button..i saw at low yat yesterday they use screwdriver to switch on pc..can provide me wth picture how to do it..try googling but cannot find any answer..desperate to learn this method cz wanna install new HSF then power it on,test the temperature before put back inside my case..

self-explanatory, a rig without casing

saw a technician did that before, just short-circuit the power pin where u supposed to plug in the power button connector
do not ask me how though, for more than 10 years i have been switching PC on the safe way

hehe..just pass by the technician..i am fear off blow my thing when do in wrong way..

im one of casingless user currently

It sure wont blow ur thing 1...Just use the screwdriver or any conductor to touch the pin where connected to the power button..

just look at the mobo and find "power" 2 pin and short both pins with screwdriver...good luck..

This is mine ....

my old caseless... 2006...

looks messy maa

wah mast be maximum cooling sensation . lolz

its for a while only later after finish testing and benching all will be put nicely back into its nest again...

@fuzore,
Lolz...... which nest planing to put in lehh?

bro my siggy alredy tell a thousand stories bro its the small time CM590 lor....
