Thinking of building a PC from scratch and on a budget?

Maybe you should consider a cardboard case like the one below?

Sounds odd, but when you think about it there are many things that you could fit a PC inside. All you need is an ATX PSU (Power Supply Unit) and a switch off an old power supply (ATX style only), or you could make your own Switch/Reset using momentary switches from Maplin or the like.
