Do you need a case? For $20 you can get a cheap case from microcenter or in many places.

You can also just not have one at all.

Why do you need a case?
Just put your motherboard on a box and be done with it.

Just drill some holes on a price of wood and screw the mobo on. Seriously, an IKEA board would be fine. You can also check c-list theres usually cheap af cases there too

Just some strings and screws, $5 should be enough, if not free.

You can buy $20 cases. Sometimes even ones with a PSU.

I'm all about being a cheapass when I can, but for this, you're just wasting time. Or worse, being a hipster because you want le-ironic case.
