So, what if you work remotely at home during the pandemic, outside global warming, and your laptop is hot and slow and its portability not need?

I have the answer is: you need to build a pc and place it in a box with wood from recycle bin.

But, before, a little story.

Step 1: Short Story

I like to make everything with less amount of garbage or be good if I can find another use for the usual stuff.

When I build my first PC I place it in the box from roller skates. CPU and video adapter was cold there.

But, At some time I needed a box, which I can move.

Сardboard box is not so strong for this and I make PC box from fiberboard. This box has rotating wheels and when you need it you can move it.

But, this box was too big. And when I change all HDD to the solid one I start thinking about minimization.

Step 2: Planning

Simple plan:
1. Hunt some wood

2. Build the PC

3. Build the Box

4. Mount the PC in Box

5. ????

6. PROFIT!

To hunt wood I chose the closes scrapyard. I find there one old kitchen dresser. It has a back wall made of plywood. PC I have. It is not so difficult to build a PC. Also, It's not so difficult to build a box from plywood. From a new one.

But from old - another story.

Step 3: Iteration One

I make a sketch drawing. Draw a parallelepiped is simple. As you see, when plywood was in one peace it was pretty straight. But, when you cut it to details it became twisted.

I think it will self-level after the mount (glued) altogether. But is not. And I have to figure out with this.

Step 4: Itrration Two

So I need to make every I can rib of strength.

I take a lot of wooden rails and glue where I can. I need to place the power supply inside the box, so I need to make these rails thin in some places.

With rais make box was much easier.
