What came to me, you ask? What genious idea have I pondered up now?

A computer case made out of red bull cans.

For you Red Bull drinkers out there, you know how flexible the aluminum is. So, I'll just cut the bottom & top off, and now I have a nice square (rectangular?) piece of aluminum.

There is only one problem with my brilliant idea: how would I fasten the sheets of aluminum together?

Thanks in advance.  :)

I want to make a computer case out of red bull cans. How would I fasten the red bull sheets together?

I was looking for an answer like "staples" or "tape" or something. Are you sure you read my post..  ::)

If you get enough cans, you could probably flatten them, put two on top of each other, and then weld them together.

yea i dont want to weld though, i might burn my hand off or something, i dont know if we even own a welder.. any other ideas?

Super Glue... Duct Tape.

There's no such thing as tiny ass fuckin'.

Sobe no fear gold is better  ::)

I like banna fanna fo fannas reply about ass fuckin.. but, the reason super glue fucking comes in a tiny ass tube is because a tiny ass fuckin amount WORKS you dip shit, you dont need a mound of super glue to paste two god damned red bull cans together, FUCK. Thats why its called super fucking glue - it's fucking super (no, there was no gay joke intended there. although the guy questioning the ability of super glue could quite possibly be gay for doing so). Duct tape could quite possibly work if u want your case to look like complete SHIT, and even if you know the tapes on the inside completely shielded from outside view you still know its founded with SHIT and will probably SUCK! All in all I don't think making a computer case out of red bull would be very cool anyways since making cases was completely so last summer. Make a fucking man purse out of red bull cans, or a fucking eye patch out of them or maybe a home-made razor.. i dunno, something emo, and then youll atleast have hismajesty liking it.

Ok guys, thanks for your input, I'm going to use super glue.  ;D

Make a big cup out of all of them and fill it with red bull  :o

Don't use super glue, if anything use JB Weld, you can pick it up at home depot or autzone.
You get more of it in a tube and it holds much better than super glue.

On another note, make sure you wrap the inside in something, aluminum is a conductor.

wrap it in something?

like.. ceran wrap?  :o

What you want to do is avoid letting the contents inside of the case come into contact with the case itself, since the case will be aluminum. Aluminum will build up static electricity which is most likely not a good thing to house electronic components inside of. This might result in damanged hardware, or other bad things. Find some of that styrofoam padding stuff that comes in some packages in the mail, and cover the interior in it to avoid those problems. Or, even better, find some of that non-static electricity plastic that video cards and stuff come packaged in.

This is assuming you actually go through with this.

Are you honestly this...ugh! There isn't even a word I can think of. Thats how mad your posts make me. Seran Wrap?! NO Something that DOESN'T conduct, like Rubber Stoppers, or some kind of grounder that won't fry your Curriour George ass.

2ndly, Weld them together, it's NOT that hard;

Bonding Wire [ Aluminum based ]
Flux [ I'm not sure if it is needed for such thing metal? ]
A Flame hot enough to melt the bonding wire but not ruin your cans.

Have you even made a blue-print of some sort, perhaps even a cheesey sketch on the back of a used napkin? Have you honestly thought on how you're going to mount your Motherboard, I at least hope you reuse the old chasis because goodluck making one out of redbull cans that is full functional.

In my opinion; Hellen Keller would have an easier time jugding a Miss America padgeant while spinning plates than you would at making your dream case.

P.S. Red Bull isn't even that good and costs too much for the size of the drink. Monster Energy is much more filling :P

I like Monster too.

I was kidding about the seran wrap  :P

and im not welding it.

its obvious this is too complicated, plus i think it would be too light to support the power supply and cd drives...  ::)

Just use a paint can or somethin.

Thats kinda why I told you to use a Chasis from the old pc...

Also why not just put the cans..on your old pc's case? Or buy a flat sidded one and just use an abrasive to bind the two metals.

Use stilts or put them on the bottom :).

Yeah I was going to say... while I applaud your.... creativity.... this is likely not a good idea.
