I dismantle my dell c521

[WNYIRISHGUY]

What are my plan

First i when down to the local auto body shop and ask them to cuts the plate that hold the cpu/heatsink/special cover together and so far is working i even connect everything to see if the pc work the way it is *and is does*

So what next i want to built a pc case by scratch and my budget is $15 - $20

One ideal i found is get some
MPF cut down to size to fit the MB
long bolt 4" or 6" in length
washer/bolt

and make a homemade pc test bench

what do you think ?

Many people have run their computers completely naked without any kind of case or backplate. Only real problem with it is fixing some support for the graphics card which is something you should consider how to do. Test benches aren't meant for daily gaming computers because of the noise dust.

But... $20 should be enough for second-hand case too. And what was the reason you destroyed the old case btw?

[WNYIRISHGUY]

Here the reason

1.Is a dell sff case which limited upgradeable especially if you want to add a full video card and change the psu
2.I when to my shed and i found some 4" bolt and nuts and washer and that will save me a few $$$$

So now i will buy some more hardware and MPF and i be setup

There's a fair number of "PC built into desk" builds around.

Here's a particularly good one:

Dump the dell PSU for a better one

It is perfectly acceptable to "ghetto rig" it with just the rig assembled on the motherboard tray (however you know you don't have to cut the cases for future reference they are only riveted together a 2.5mm drill bit is your best friend).

This was a rig I was running tests on for example.

As you can see, I too have done the motherboard on motherboard box computer rig, and it worked great. I ran it like this for, oh, 3~ weeks? I quite liked it. I could stare into the very subtle blue fan of my heatsink, and it also shot a nice breeze at my face.

As vesseblah stated, you definitely want to give your GPU some support... as you can see: rubberband for the Ethernet cord onto the GPU I/O plate. Boom.

i use my tower as a foot rest, its comfy!

if you wanna be creative, buy a desk from a shop like argos that is unbuit and as screw sized holes randomly placed, and then start chopping it up to what you want, then you will have something unique, easily customisable and have all the essential mounts for ... something like http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/6178273.htm
