What material to make a PC case out of

Sylver

well tell your neighbor to go to speed fiver it's much cheaper in terms of quality time finishes (and I say this from my own experience)

Not 3 days for the first two and less than a week for the third after a year or so, top 10 bike of the III Concentración Tuning Villa de Estepona 2008, having been in the top 14 between engines and workshops it's logical…

I have a patio at my house that opens to the outdoors, so there's no problem in that aspect. Is the mask one of those disposable paper ones or does it have to be one with a carbon filter?
One of the reasons that would hold me back is the size that the body would take.
ATX board, with power supply, with hard drives... My car would be almost 1 meter long! And then where do I put that monstrosity of a contraption? Unless I make myself an English bus, that way I can put floors XD

Maybe I should think about another kind of box using not just the horizontal plane. The Empire State, for example...
But making the car is what I would like the most.. Any ideas on how to reduce the size? Put the power supply as a trailer XD?

Who is talking about a mask? I think I said something about gloves (the resin for fiberglass with hardener as I would say... it doesn't come off your hands easily) the glasses are kind of funny (mind you, if you put that in your eyes...)
Now seriously: what motherboard do you have, micro source, graphics card and so on, the elements that mark the measurements are:
motherboard, cpu cooler and graphics card, the F.A. is usually of standard size
more important than anything is what you want the MOD for (competitions or personal pride) and above all what space you have on the desk (I can tell you how you can do it if a "tower" fits lying down )
P.D measurements X Y Z
P.D 2 look at a car from the 24 hours of Le Mans and I'll tell you how to do it ;);)

The mask is for when you sand the fiberglass once it has hardened. I read that if particles are inhaled they can cause damage to the lungs.

I want to make the mod simply as a personal challenge. I am in no rush to do it and as there is no rush the budget can be high, although spread throughout the entire construction process. The components I have now may not be used in the mod. The ATX plates are and will always be just as large, the HDDs too, the power supplies too. The only thing that can vary in size is the graphics and the CPU fan, so the size of the car should accommodate all these things.

By the way, to make the car's casing I want to base it on the Mini Cooper.

@cslbcn:

By the way, for the car body I want to base it on the Mini Cooper.

Well, you're setting the bar really high, more than a Mini you'll have to make a Maxi Cooper to fit everything in xD
if you manage well you can put the power supply in what would be the interior of the car (the upper part of the body that in the Mini is bulging even if it doesn't look like it) the rear window could be foldable and thus expose the power outlet of the power supply
Everything is about letting your imagination fly, although that design would be ultra-compact.
