Thanks for the advice but I was trying to stick with using all the original components and stay true to my original idea.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks.

Thanks. Good luck with yours as well. Let me know what you did.

Right. I tried a regular PC supply but it was dead so this was the way to go.

You are correct and for the rest of you, I've edited the title to better reflect this.

Technically no, you are correct but a server has separate drives and they show up on the computer as 4 drives. I know I'm stretching the point a bit here but you get the idea. No room for a Raspberry or NAS in this box. Thanks anyway.

Noted, but one thing i knew from passed projects is that hard drives need airflow to keep them cool. I was less interested in the aesthetics of the box than with cooling. Very critical. I used a 4" hole saw. Thanks.

The can is just tall enough to mount the drives horizontally and allow about a 1/2" space between for air flow. As a far as swapping the drives out, I purposely bult in the connectors so I could take all the drives out and replace one if needed. Thanks for your idea.

I'll be checking for dust. Thanks.

Thanks, I used a large diameter hole saw and a power drill. I macthed the hole size with the diameter of the fan. Thanks.

Glad I could help. Good luck.

Thanks. Actually this size is perfect since it seems to cover all adpects of the cooking area.

Well, if you observe the proper power tool safety ediquete it's fine. I've aready used it on a job for ripping trim for a window and it did the trick. Remember it's an instructable and I won't be selling things like this anytime soon.

Thanks

Only if you don't observe proper safety rules. With extra tools in the base for ballast and sturdy feet, it dosn't tip or wobble. It has worked surprisingly well.

Way to go!

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, as long as you give the wood several coats of varnish. I'm not sire of the seams though. I have left it out in the rain and it seems alright. If you are attaching one to the back of your trailer, yo may want to make a custom tarp as a cover.

Hey Buddy!!

About 3 burns.

Yup, you are right. The aluminum ones failed. I've replaced them with stainless.

Update: Since building this stove I have replaced the aluminum rivets that secured to grill supports with stainless steel bolts and nuts. The aluminum ones got soft when the stove was hot and failed. Oh well!

Sorry for the late reply. Your box looks awesome. Glad to supply the creative spark.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks

Great idea.

I'm not sure of the model number but it's a Slik brand with sort of round legs. It probably doesn't make any difference. The most important thing is the lever lock. Make sure you can put your weight on it and it doesn't slide closed. Good luck.
