Team Boom Tape is a team that not only makes things out of duct tape in competitions, they’ve created a server with a duct tape case!
They’ve even lit it from the inside, creating windows courtesy of the translucency that 3M clear duct tape provides.
[The] Duct Tape Server was build entirely from four rolls of gray Nashua duct tape, a quarter roll of translucent 3M duct tape, and these computer components:
- Pentium P4 2.4 GHz
- Intel SFF Motherboard
- 1GB twinned DDR RAM
- 80GB SATA HDD
- 350W PSU
- CDROM
- 2 80mm LED fans
However, you’d think with the heat generated that the case might have some structural issues, since duct tape is not meant to withstand high temperatures. Here’s a report on why duct tape is actually not recommended for long-term use.

Actually, heat wasn’t much of an issue at all. The beastie held tight at around 39C, we ran it for the whole event Thursday to Sunday and even hosted a Armegetron tournement and a local Ventrillo server.
Obviously the Tape Gods smiled upon us.
