A kitchen basket becomes an open computer case

Summary

Davide R mounts PC components on a VARIERA kitchen insert and gets an airy, visible barebone case. An IKEA VARIERA insert serves as the base. The system remains completely open.

Ideas

  • The metal basket carries the mainboard and components in the open.
  • Free air circulation replaces a closed case.
  • The design makes all connectors easy to reach.

Insights

  • Open cases make modifications easier and increase the risks of dust and contact.
  • Metal parts used for other purposes need careful electrical insulation.

Recommendations

  • Earth all conductive case parts.
  • Protect fans and mains voltage against contact.
