I'm not saying you can't do it, you just have to use caution. You could blast a small component on a board hard enough to break it.... or so they say.

My biggest concern would be space...laying that thing out flat is like tipping your pc on its side. It would take up 2.5 times the area that a desktop takes up.

And keep your drinks totally away from it. It would have to sit high and away from open windows. ]]>Sep 18th 2008 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/Sep 18th 2008 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/Sep 18th 2008 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/Sep 18th 2008 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/Sep 18th 2008 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/Sep 18th 2008 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/Sep 18th 2008 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/
you get more airflow in a closed case with careful planning than in an open system like this. every inlet fan in a real case creates outflow at the other end, whereas in this case the air is just wafting around chaotically. i get lower case and cpu temps when i put the lid back on my pc.]]>Sep 18th 2008 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/Sep 18th 2008 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/
When you have an open case like this, the volume of air to heat up is effectively the room that it is in. So the computer can output many more times the amount of heat only raise the temperature of ambient air a degree or so. Read up on some HVAC system design to get an idea of this.]]>Sep 18th 2008 10:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/Sep 18th 2008 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/18/antecs-open-air-skeleton-pc-case-is-so-breezy/
