Not a fan of the mousepad covering the PC, unfortunately you can't do much tho.

looks great otherwise, amazing job :D

Well the Mousepad is intentional. I use it to cover up all the cabels^^

How’s the temps? I’ve always wanted to do something like this but was worried the components would give off too much heat and slowly burn me.

under foll load the gpu sits at 39 and the cpu at around 50. i got dual 360mm radiators so that should be plenty xD

This is a very impressive, but I have some small pet peeves:

 

It looks like you put the glass on top of the wood that makes the edge of the pc box. This makes it look unrefined and amateurish. What I recommend instead is to create wooden blocks on each inner corner of the box, then put threaded inserts in each, this will allow you to drill through the glass to put screws through, make sure to countersunk the holes to make the screws flush. (note that if it is tempered glass, do not attempt to drill through it) With the glass now mounted with screws, you can make wood go around the glass to make it look better. 

 

On another note, I would paint the inside of the box black so the wood does not look out of place from the components.
