Backwards PC Case Mod.

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on August 9, 2006 at 5:37 am


Mike Harrison got tired of having to grope the back of his PC plugging and unplugging things all the time, so he made a backwards PC case mod!

I’m sure there must be plenty of tecchie types out there like me, who are forever plugging things in and out of their PCs and don’t want to be groping around the back all the time. For a long time, I’ve been frustrated by how essentially identical most PC cases there are, and that nobody to my knowledge has ever made a case which has all the drives, IO connectors and PCI slots on the same side. (There may be a few industrial cases, but these are usually very expensive.)

As I like to have things the way I want, I’ve had to resort to metal-bashing to produce a case thet meets my needs.

    What about the air flow of the fan?

    It's an interesting idea, but the picture doesn't show how it looks with all the wires. Probably a little ugly for the average user.

    This is a first step. I wish the manufacturers would listen to this. PC towers are a model of inefficient design, and it's time to fix that.

    Why not just split the difference and put the inputs on the side? If that's a million dollar idea no one has thought of yet, I announce patent pending now.
