After seeing Mishima's case project, I've thinking of haveing a go at this case in a simular way.
The story so far . . .
We were chucking out a load of old stuff at work and I came across an old server a Server1200 by Digatal to be exact
I had a idea that I could pinch it and set it up at home as a web/file server, however I could get it open as a key is needed to remove the side pannel.
So I just pulged it in to see what would happen . . .
Answer a hidious grinding sound and it booted up (still grinding) I used cpu-z to findout the specs Pentium2 266mhz, 256mb 66mhz ram, 2 SCSI hard disks 15.4gb and 1.5gb
Yep pritty much junk, but I had a look around and found the key and got it open, the hidious grind noise was fron two 120mm fans, at the time I took one out cleaned it, re-oiled it and atempted to resurect it. it spins well without grinding now but it's pritty loud and doesn't push much air.
The server was left in tempery storage while we had our room redone.
Now the time has come, my boss has asked me to scrap it and after reading Mish's thread I asked if I could keep the case, answer was yes
Now I'm not fully sure what to do with it, short of getting some new 120mm fans.
Here are some pic, sorry about the quality, only had a web cam to hand
I ran into a promlem when I tried to open it the key had got snaped off in the lock
But I managed to get the front pannel off and figure out how to release the catch with a screwdriver.
Behind the front pannel
Finally open
I've stripped out the insides
And for thoes intrested
That's a server motherboard, a slot 1 266mhz P2, 4x64mb 33mhz ram sticks and that other card above the slot1 cpu is a L1 cache expansion. (the whole thing was cooled by a 120mm fan just infront of it.
