Looking at this list you could almost assume many things, but you’d almost never guess it’s the above Computer case. And no paint was involved. Not too bad looking, though a ton of work for a case that doesn’t diappate heat a lot, or really save you all that much money.

A lot of work must have been involved in building this case , however now its done you know how to do it and next project could match existing furniture or surroundings, Heat dispersion can easily be overcome by allowing for extra fans or even liquid cooled . I once built a guitar from scratch that cost me double the price of an basic usable instrument but I still enjoyed making it and was very satisfied with the result . just been searching the Web for Ideas on wooden cases because I would like to build a wooden flight case containing two pc’s so looking for inspiration .
