This is far less hassle than foil. The adhesive is non-conductive. However, if you want EMI/RFI shielding, You need the same shielding copper used in shielding electric guitars. The copper stuff has an adhesive that IS conductive; Useful for a faraday cage.
Note: Both of these are far more expensive than aluminum, however, both are VERY tough and look a LOT better.
Not a build, but I get to walk by this thing at work.
Extension cord running to a female end that's not fully sealed, the wire from the female end has been cut open and some random wire has been snipped and stripped and is now floating in the breeze. And the thing is in the direct rain, so yes, that is water on the contraption.
This is what happens when you build in a 10 year old ATX (minus 1mm = friction not screws was holding the motherboard in) case that was made before cable management was invented.
No first hand pictures because the cooler covers it up but I have a Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3, Which you will not has a small VRM section with no heatsinks.
It is running an AMD FX 6100 at 4GHz and has been for about 2 years and before that 3.8 for longer. Still trucking.
Most of my machines are complete abominations. Having untidy wires or one little DIY bracket is preschool level hackery. Back at the end of 2003 I slapped a P3 550MHZ board into a Budweiser box. Had it hooked up to a receiver playing music 24/7 for several months. Eventually I moved it to a proper case. Ran the heck out of that machine for years and it was the fastest booting machine I ever had until I got my first SSD. I also had the cardboard washers for the power supply and CD drive.
Amazingly, I still have the box! I used my phone's camera for the third time!
Specs 1 Sun laundry soap bucket 1 Dodge minivan radio 2 4in 8 ohm mid drivers 1 Sony 110W (I think) 6 ohm 8in subwoofer 1 unbranded 120W 4 ohm amp 1 generic PC power supply (fan sold separately) 1 big mess of bare wires (the longer you look the worse it gets)
a 5 gallon drywall bucket, with a porthole cut into the bottom ring rib. For venting & wires, then stuffed with an old pillow. I had 2 bungee cords holding it to the back seat in the trunk.
It had very boomy sound and had awful fidelity but got awfully loud.
