Great looking case! Do you have pictures with the 780i mobo in it as well as the 260?

wooden cases should be a fire hazard

Only if you run Intel's ...

I only really skimmed through the pics, so if this is fixed ignore my post, but why aren't your memory sticks in dual channel mode?

Not all boards run the dual-channel configuration the same, some put them side-by-side like that. Silly arrangement I know but ...

O whoa, didn't even know this thread was still alive (well almost...) I had a few problems with this case (too much tubing, routing was terrible)
But anyways thx for the comments, and after a year or so there was no fire And yes I did run them in single channel for a little while, there was some problem with dual until I flashed the bios.

So... I went ahead and built an entirely new case. She's not done yet, but as you can tell, the build quality is on an entirely new level

Tokara IV - A smaller, sleeker, more powerful wooden case

But If you want to know what happened to this case here was the final product. right before I tore her apart She will be missed. Always sentimental value in it.

Hey Darkcow ,, really like your New Tokara IV wooden case , especially the inlaid wood really sets it off.

 

[darkcow]

thx, yea that really does make the case "pop" and gives it a wow factor. The last case just had some lame buttons and nobs with two giant fan holes. This case has a much more artsy, modern look to it.

Also Tokara IV is much smaller and it makes so much more sense. there isn't any wasted space. Cable routing is significantly better as well to a point where you barely see them and when you do it fits into the style.

Absolutely amazing looking case!! Love the new look and the rads look really good against that light color wood. Excellent job darkcow!
