[PROJECT LOG]: Custom Wooden PC Case in Maple Hardwood.
Hey all, I have been working on my latest project on and off for the past few weeks and have finally decided to post my progress. Specs on the internals of the computer are to be determined however it will be a dual purpose light gaming and server case.
Specs:
- 3 x 120mm front intake fans
- 2 x 140mm top outtake fans
- 1 x 120mm back outtake fan
- 1 external 5.25" bay (3 internal)
- 6 internal 3.5" drive bays
- front temperature gauge readout
- front vandal resistive power switch
- front HDD activity/power LED
All metal will be painted matte or glossy black(still undecided), however I was leaning towards a matte finish.
All maple hardwood will be stained with a semi-transparent stain in a medium-dark brown.
All fan openings will be covered with aluminum fan filters/guards. Also any other cut-outs or seams will be trimmed using solid maple strips.
*Please excuse the poor image quality, they were taken with a cell phone at my shop, I hope to get better ones soon*
Internal Components
Switch
Motherboard Tray
5.25" drive bays
3.5" drive cage
Back I/O plate cut out
Motherboard tray risers for cable routing
Tray on risers
Spacing beneath risers for cables
Back I/O plate final with trims
PSU cable hole yet to be trimmed.
Thanks for looking Any suggestions are welcome.
