Nike Cardboard PC ??

Yeah, you read that right! I had no spare case for a test "retro gaming emulation type pc", but had a few shoeboxes left around the house. I took the biggest I had, and just thought "why not, """""lmao"""""".

Things You'll Need

-A box, preferably a big one (Nike/Adidas/Timberland/Crocs)

-Scissors

-Screwdriver

-More cardboard

-Screws (for the fan, so find what suits them)

-A fan (not a JB one, please)

-PC components

-Some foam

-A sharpie

Cutting Vents

First, you'll need to make holes in the cardboard for air to flow. Cut a 100mm hole for the fan, and some more "screwdriver holes" to get some fresh air to the CPU.

Making Standoffs

Cut some cardboard and glue it to where screw holes are on your motherboard to support it.

Yeah, so, I didn't calculate the fact that the box could not be closed because of the fan touching the GPU... So I mounted it on the other side.

Connect Your PSU

I did not have a small enough PSU to put in the case, but anyway, connect it and fit it if you can (make some holes for its fan too)

Biem, You've Got M̶a̶i̶l̶ a PC
