Well, it was faster done than expected. What is your plan so far?

Would actually be better than wood

[dgsddfgdfhgs]

use sand and glue, easy to mod / hide unwanted stuff

i need holes in the base for cable managment of course and under the base i'll but the power supply.

You could do it inside the case. What are your planned components?

Kinda like this

[LukeSavenije]

Not what I meant. What components (mobo, gpu, cpu, ram) are you planning on?

i've used wooden cases before like many people and it's 100% fine, a PC won't be nearly hot enough to start a fire.

Well, not when it's all working properly at least...

[dgsddfgdfhgs]

you may plan it like a 3D map, 2 pyramids, on large surface, (presume desert)

hide cables with hills & or else. 

or even leave one side open / transparent

Well, about size I can't help you rn then. But that two pyramid idea sounds kinda fun. That platform might not be needed, just some cable routing should work too. You might want to try to make the holes at cables like the 24 pin, 8 pin cpu, pcie connector, rgb headers(?), fan headers, those things.

most other cases are metal and plastic, those are not going to stop a fire, only difference will be that the wooden case will burn up faster.

also when was the last time your pc caught on fire? changes of that is pretty low tbh.

 

@FL4ww idk if there's any budget involved but you can get a long way with MDF and some clear acrylic.

Well... about never. Well, both would look good, but I like metal/plastic still more. But that's imo

metal/plastic would look a bit cleaner for sure but not sure if OP has the tools for this either, wood is very easy to work with especially MDF which is really soft and you can also paint or wrap the pieces. HERE is a video about what i mean

Yeah. But maybe school has it?
