well i made this like 2 years ago and i just got an offer from someone to buy it from me so whats your opinion on how much the whole works is worth? (the box and the slot 1 cooling kit)
heres some pics (sorry for large pic size)

The back, you have no idea how hard it was to mount the psu in there, i did it after i had the whole thing constructed.

The inside, that thing on the lower right is a front cover for the radaitor, so the fins dont get damaged in transit.

The pump, and theres holes for the intake and outtake tubes on the side

another angle of the inside, the radiator is attached with bolts, and u can see how the switch in the lid is mounted

thats an old ass AT power supply, lol. the only thing i could find with a switch, and it worked out pretty good the way i had it mounted. i was thinking when i made it to put in a fan hole or 2 and have 2 120mm intakes (on the radaitor) and have 2 92mm outtake fans + the power supply fan. but i felt that was sufficent for now. theres a latch on the front and handles on the sides.
This thing is made of Black walnut ($12 a board foot), and the bottom of the box is made of red ceader (so the inside smells good :)). i put about 2 months of work into it (only 2 hours a day) and the watercooling stuff cost $120, i bought the watercooling stuff like 2 years ago (xmas present) so i dont know how good it is now. the materials (to make the box) all together cost about $75.
so how much would you think its worth?

If I put the kind of effort into a device like it appears you did with that box, I'd have a hard time getting rid of it. Of course fond attachment can be overcome for the right price. Only you can know what that price is.

it was my woodshop project for 11th grade, lol.
plus since i dont watercool anymore and its just taking up space and i didnt think anyone would want it but it seems someone does so im willing to sell it.
i dont like things sitting and collecting dust, they gotta be put to good use :)

unfortuanly i am using an imac at the moment with a 56k connection and a short attention span so i only saw half the images, the good thing with watercooling it that any bit that dosn't work as well you can replace it without changing the whole lot.

As hoot says, you cant put a price on your own work, but looking at it i think it is very good. make sure it gets a good home

lol yup :)
shipping is going to be killer though, that thing is heavy. black walnut weighs a ton.
its about 25-30lbs, lol

Which is why you should probably think about taking metalwork shop and shift the parts to something aluminum ;)
