I've got another update for you all! We've just finished cutting the guitar in half, I'll get some glamour shots of it in the morning, but we've decided to use a ITX case in order to fit a PSU inside.

Alright, thanks for the update.

I'm actually not entirely sure how grounding even works for it all. Atm it isn't that high of priority since we still need to do body work, but if someone, perhaps you, could look into it right now and give me a definitive answer I'd be very thankful.

I've got a major update for you guys that you'll probably like. I finally got the chance to talk to my neighbor who will be doing most of the wood work since he is a professional in the field. He said he would love to help with the project, and as it stands right now, our priority is finding a blade to cut the rear of the guitar so that we can take it off and put it on a hinge. It is very likely that we will ruin much of the finish, but will probably hide this by placing risers over where we cut. Once the rear is removed we will do measurements and figure out the usable space we have to work with. Similarly we've decided that we will probably use a slab of mahogany to mount the motherboard on top of. As for questions, I would like to know if anyone has any good suggestions on a way to ground it all.

After reading through the manual publicly available online I found that there was actually no possible way to change the scaling method other than the method you listed. I am sorry.

You'd be better off purchasing a Logitech system and paying someone $50 to set it up. That is, if your trouble is setting it up. If you just don't want to mount things, don't. Get wall adhesive stuff, or duct tape it.

Updating everyone on the 'progress'. At the moment, I'm preparing for the project but have not yet started. I am waiting for a motherboard + CPU first and foremost and still drawing up plans, but I will probably take your guys's suggestion of using the rear for access and ventilation.

I think more people are concerned with hiding things other than money. Personally I keep any of my fancy jewelry in it (think necklaces and pendants not earrings) because my niece will steal them.

Plenty of room for it really. I did the measurements super quick. If I actually had the spare time to trace and all I'd be able to provide people an actual map of usable area, but to put it in a quick easy to understand format, the box with which the curved body lies within (That is, if the body were a box having the dimensions of the widest and longest portions of the body) it'd be 12x15. Plenty of space, even with the curvature added in.

Oh don't get me wrong I didn't think it'd combust, but I do know wood enjoys absorbing heat. I will actually consider putting the face on hinges, that sounds like an awesome idea. Perhaps I'll raise the face with an air intake mesh grill as well. I was hoping I could put a full computer inside the guitar though. Thanks for the help, it will help me dive into this.

Got a Cosmos S II, shit works as a god damn drawer let alone hiding place.

Background Recently I had purchased a new guitar hoping that it'd replace my old guitar from the 90s but had found out that it had a twisted neck, and now am left with a somewhat useless guitar and have already purchase a replacement and began to think to myself; "Wouldn't it be awesome to keep it as a showpiece?" Which led me even further to want to try and turn this old Luna guitar into a computer case. So here I am today asking for feedback and info on how to tackle this. Preparations I've Already Made I have measured the guitar thoroughly and found the usable space inside of it (avoiding any and all of the guitar's body curvature) to be 9.5 x 15 inches in size vertically (bottom of the guitar on the bottom). This makes it suitable for some full-sized ATX motherboards. So I'll be fine in finding a motherboard and fitting components in that sense. The depth of the guitar however, is the real problem. The guitar is just over 4 inches thick/deep. I do think however, taking the face of the guitar off and extending it from the rest of the body may look quite nice. Almost as if it were on stilts. This would also provide more air-flow. Before drilling any holes for mounting on the inside, I will probably begin with flattening the sound hole's innards and drawing up positions for radiators/fans as well are power switches and the like. I'll also be consulting my neighbors who are quite skilled in wood-work to lend me a hand. Questions I Have So with all of that said, I have a few questions that I hope you guys can answer; Is this even possible? Is there something that makes this inherently difficult/impossible other than dimensions? How big of an issue would the wood turn out to be thermally? Would I absolutely need a water-cooling loop to compensate? Are there any specific components I should look into that would help me accomplish this? Are there any specific power control switches that are easily repaint-able/come in a wooden tone similar to the guitar. How big of a deal will the 4 inches of clearance be? Will it make or break having a card like the nano in it? Is there anything I should know before starting? Thank you for reading and helping me. Update 7/2/2015

My username is Sagacity159. I really like the hardline build log since I want to be able to do this sometime in the future. My second choice though is the LG 34UM67 review since I've been dying to see freesync well reviewed. Love me plz.

Have this for my system atm in hopes of SLI'ing together an extra one or two 980s. Top notch, never so much as whispers atm with only one 980 in, and has yet to give me any trouble. My last Coolermaster however died along with my uncle's Coolermaster.

More than likely. The custom controllers for systems in that era used the same control scheme digitally.
