My very own case

[Raniz]

For about 6 months ago, I decided together with a friend that we should build our very own cases. Because of his fathers skills with wood, we made 'em of wood.

Here are the pics of my case:

That be a fine case you got there . I especialy like the drive faceplates , how did you go about making them?

 

[Stedeman]

damn you beat me to it. I have been working on a wooden case for the last week, and you definately have me beat in terms of craftsmanship. But as far as originality goes, everyone will have to wait and see....

Hey you know the Director of my company asked if there was any company that made wooden cases..they wanted a PC in the board room that would not be noticed.... Maybe your freinds dad should start selling these as Excutive Cases!!!

 

[Marley]

That is quite a peach of a case, how long did it take to make?? how hard was it??

The faceplates were almost the easiest part of the case, its just a rectangular woodplate. The faceplate for my slot-in DVD were a bit harder to do, but it's just the same design as the others except for the hole made by a sticksaw (is it called that?) and the round hole for the button. I've glued them to the drives with a "gluegun".

The airflow isn't very good right now, but I'm going to install a 120mm fan in the back, already got a hole for it as you see.

Glad you guys like my case

nice work.. looks like you spent a lot of time workin on that one.. love the drive faceplates

Never thought of making a wood case. Looks cooler than my stupid polycarbonate ones. Stupid non-stainable lexan. That looks tight dude. I love the finish.

I think you should put an etched piece of glass in there as a window and a doilly with a lamp on top. make sure to put a coaster on there, wouldnt want any cup rings.

get some pics of your friends case up here too.

 

[Raniz]

The case took approx 6 months to build, if we could easily have done it in a month, if we worked 7 days a week

I'm not going to put any window(s) into it, I think it would spoil the wooden design! I'm also a bit unhappy with the door-handle, but I'll have to live with that

I'm sorry I haven't any pics of my friends case after it was finished... I'll have to talk to him about that

 

[Fushyuguru]

I think the handle is kinda cool. And i was just joking about the glass window and such (reference to a table).

if you put a few chimney fans on top and that one on the back it should get pretty good airlflow, my computer has 3 chimney fans i put in and just general case temp is pretty good...
