Hi all, After finishing my AS exams, I'm back at school for 3 more weeks until summer holidays begin, and one of the things I have to do is choose a product to research, design, and build for my A2 DT coursework. I had been wondering about a Computer case, as It's be awesome to have a case I made myself, and I'm obviously quite interested in computers (being on this forum and all).
However, my teacher isn't overly keen on me doing this, I think his main concern is that coming up with enough ideas, and building something that isn't just a slightly different to a case that already exists could be difficult. I'm still keen on doing a case (I reckon my school DT department has all the kit I'd need to make it), but I wonder whether anyone else could advise on whether they think this would be a good idea, considering I have to produce a wide range of ideas, and produce a case at the end of it using my own awesome schoolboy DT skills. (the case doesn't actually have to function as a case - i.e. I wouldn't actually have to put stuff in it and turn it on, but it would be nice if I could).
