Project 'Acrylonia'

The idea of making a small lan-party box has been haunting me for a while. Long before finishing my previous mod, I wanted such a case. But my current needs were for desktop PC and also didn't have good ideas for small case. After finishing the abovementioned case (Prewar Techware: A Fallout case mod) it went to the first of the two lan-parties in Bulgaria in '05 (without me, I had an university exam) and won first prize . Then was the time I decided I needed smaller, easier to transport case. Besides I already had second computer and it didn�t have any case at all.

I also wanted for a long time to build entirely acrylic case, so I thought: 'Why don't I combine the two ideas and build a small, acrylic box?' But I didn't want simple transparent case filled with computer parts. I was strongly influenced by Orac3 by G-gnome (http://www.bit-tech.net/modding/2004/06/09/orac3_part5/1.html) and wanted to do something like scaled down version of it. As the work progressed the concept changed a lot though.

Having in mind these guidelines I prepared the basic requirements for the box:

• To be as small as possible

• To be entirely acrylic

• To have as much extra electronics as possible

• There must be no spare space in the box

• And yet again - to be as small as possible
