The AMMO CAN case mod

[acsgdo02]

very cool mod buddy just wondering how you cool that with cpu overclocked?

[eltenda]

want..!!



[24allix]

@trouper1 I'm currently building an itx comp in a "Saw" ammo box. I didn't have any trouble finding a psu that fit and mines alot smaller?

[Troupr]

@iMacG3nerd When the case is in waterproof mode, it isn't on (obviously). When it is open, there is a center divider running the entire front that has a fan at the bottom ... Air comes in one side using a push side fan and blows all the way to a vent at the bottom of the divider and then is exhausted out the PCI slot side.

[mrcole92]

Awesome job, man. Do you have a work log of some kind? I'd love to see how you made it.

[shadowman3861]

That is very very cool , good job man.

[scientist1882]

Oh now that is really cool, great idea, well done. I bet that took quite a bit of planning and enginuity.

[aaronsbraga]

for gamming in hostile combat environments!!!

[watchforfinger]

awesome

[MrFreddyFeatures]

Awsome case mod, IF you normally leave your computer in the sink?

[SuperAirsoftFilms]

doesnt it over heat?

[chronicATM]

How can people click "dislike" on this video? 44 likes to 17 dislikes? I don't even understand...why the hate? Awesome case mod!

[folken692000]

@chronicATM You do realize that asking that question "out loud" gives even more idiots the idea to click on the dislike button, right?

[osm3u]

Thats cool.



[Troupr]

@osm3u Thanks dude!

[bathroom98]

Hi i'm curious to know wat type of case you got there in terms of size

[HarmonyChurch88]

What's up with the gay like music?

[NunamedDragon]

Good, creative, but a waste of a ammo can

[YayOrNay]

@NunamedDragon ammo cans are plentiful and dirt cheap

[GreenKoldAid]

[hfradionut]

[bathoryjose]

idiota y como vas mantenerlo refrigerado

[Troupr]

@bathoryjose English ... it's the language of win

[warpigs330]

any disk drive?

[unnaturaltragedy]

I bet you could fit a mini-itx with an external (brick) power supply in that.

[trouper1]

Yeah, my first project was to put a micro ATX box into a 800 CRTG 5.56mm box, but I couldn't find a power supply that fit. So, I stuck an xbox in it (this was back when XBMC only ran on the xbox (original) hardware.

[acsgdo02]

@trouper1 very cool mod buddy just wondering how you cool that with cpu overclocked?

[Krug4720]

that would get hawt

[lordzeppo]

Nice mod but....WHERE ARE THE FLOPPY DRIVES!??? :O

[Subfightr]

I made one of these years ago, How do you pull the mobo out if you need to work on it? I used sliders like a drawer, but it did not work so well. I

[trouper1]

The ammo can has aluminum rails on the inside that perfectly fit the motherboard tray that I used, so it slides in and out very smoothly. The rails are JB Welded to the inside of the case, and are quite solid.

[ductonius]

Well done.

[ericandamanda338]

That is freakin cool.

[snedie69er]

You didnt happen to make a guide on how you built this did you?

[EugeMyster]

awesome i want one xD

[SDSnyper]

This would be nice if you lived in an area that was prone to severe flooding.

[CyberDruidtheModGod]

Great mod. Thanks for the vid.

[heartsofstone989]

how do you install games and stuff that you need an optical drive?

[scarface4never]

u USe a mobile Hard Driver :D with usb connection who needs the OLD fashion OPTICAL sh1t... lol

[heartsofstone989]

lol nice

[AirForce194]

Great Idea! I need to do this now. BTW what type of Ammo can is that?

[trouper1]

It's a large 7.62mm ammo can procured on eBay. Note, there are two common 7.62mm ammo cans ... a 200 round can and a 1500 round can. The 1500 round can can hold an ATX board, ATX power supply, full-height pci/-e cards and 3.5" hd's.

Inside dimensions: 17.25" long, 7.4" wide, 14" high

If you buy it, make sure the seal is still good. The rubber tends to not age well. Also, be sure to put a synthetic rubber lube (not KY, heh) so the rubber seal keeps its integrity and the can stays watertight.

[trouper1]

Another note, this thing is heavy! Really heavy. If it wasn't filled with mostly air, the thing would sink.

[lkaasikmae]

@AirForce194 1500 round 7.62mm NATO ammunition case A165

[scubadev]

Cool idea man.

[ice9fetus81]

how about the cooling system?

[Vitrisek]

when you submerged that case I got that weird sensation......well good luck there

[grsshpprkm]

How do you get to the cdrom?

[trouper1]

Because I don't typically use CD/DVD's (rather, I rip almost everything I own after I purchase it), thus a CD/DVD drive is not necessary. However, there would have been room for a masked optical drive between the fan and the power button if I wanted to incorporate one.

[CColtManM]

What a shitty and messy looking bedroom.

[grsshpprkm]

What do you expect when you live in a bunker?

[trouper1]

Isn't it? But we have some sweet LANdys in that messy bedroom/bunker. And BTW, I've wanted to build a real vented 2-foot concrete bunker since forever. I'd totally live in a bunker in my backyard ... wouldn't that be totally cool?

[erictech603]

Totally. Hell, if you got paintballing with your neighbors like I do you'd have a hell of a time with a bunker in your backyard.

[blackpont]

thats a sweet case. i bet its great for LAN parties you dont have to worry about the rain or snow ruining your PC.

[trouper1]

Another cool feature about this case is that it is completely mounted on rails, so that the hardware can be changed quickly. I'm working on getting a website up about the whole build process (completed in under 24 hours). The case is based on a 100% unmodified Military ammo can, which is why it's submersible without taking on water.
