Crumb Box
The fully functional breadbox PC aka Crump Box that I built as do-it-yourself project.
I. Parts:
1. Red Bread Box from Target. $10
2. Old Shuttle for PC parts. (Motherboard, CPU, CPU Cooler, Memory, Raid controller and mobo back plate)
II. Tools:
1. Dremel
2. Painter tape
III. Build
1. Start by outlining mobo’s back plateĀ on the back of the bread box that needs to be removed in order for motherboard I/O to be accessible.
2. Cut desired pattern with dremmel and position motherboard to fit.
3. In order to secure motherboard to the Crump box I had to drill holes on the bottom of the case for the standoff screws.
4. After test fitting motherboard, I also made holes for CPU exhaust fan, power supply fan andĀ power cord.
5. In addition I made a hole on the front bottom to be used as air intake
5. Finally I just added all component in side of the crumb box with few pieces of flare like CS fan cover.
Future enhancement:
Hard drive mount, case mounted power switch.
