That is Very nice. I am a woodworker, and I have been considering building myself a wooden case... mine would still look like a computer, but none the less, he figured out ways around some of the obstacles I ran into in my mind as I was designing it...

Clever..

[Flash]

thats a beauty

[daedalus]

Yeah, it's great to see some creativity in the modding scene...instead of just the same old window/neon/fans....:thumb:

Here's another that was in the same thread. ;)

nice...but what the hell are those gauge things on the front ?

[Mr.Tweak]

It reminds me of my folks old stereo system.

[Beefy]

the cd drive on that last one is impressive.. blends right in...

[zeradul]

Yea, to get the buttons to work correctly and everything, THAT would be alot of tinkering...

[FLaCo]

Nice ...very nice:)

[Albinus]

I bet you those people who made them had critics saying it couldn't be done..... and then they make a work of art like these :)

I feel this could be a new trend in case modding..... timber veneers and the like :?:

[MySTiCuSS]

Those cases are really nice!!! :)

[Mr. C]

Back in February one of the pallets that came in at work had a 40"x48" sheet of plywood like stuff about 3/32" thick between 2 layers of different products, instead of the usual cardboard used as a seperator.
I brought it home with a project just like this in mind.
Fortunately it still awaits, leaning against the wall behind my workstation. :laugh:

Actually, I really don't want to mod the case I am currently using in that manner as it is already nicely modded to suit my tastes.
And I am hesitant to purchase a case just to throw away the exterior of it --- that seems like such a waste of money:eek:

Anyone know where I can get a case "skeleton" cheap, or have an old full-tower ATX case (11 or 12 bay preferably) that they would like to donate to a stingy woodworker.

I got the tools:thumb: I got the skills, just need a bare-bones case and I'll be ready to make some sawdust.

Jesus was a carpenter!

Nicest case I ever seen!!!!
I think the PSU should be turned the other way, to take out the hot air from PCU.

[Wiggo]

The builder was asked why he mounted the PSU that way and he said that the 2 x 120mm fans were more than enough to keep the Athlon cool in there. :smokin:
