Wooden PC Case

[Tempestspy]

I was planning on making an all wood PC case. Then I saw this video from "Smiley Riley". Anyone here made an all wood PC case?

Please post your creative wooden art works for inspiration. Thanks

Building a case out of wood from scratch is definitely possible, but the end result depends on whether you're Tim Taylor or Norm Abram. I'd cannibalize a factory-made steel case for its motherboard tray and build around that.

Don't see anything impressive there. A PC case could be made out of anything that will stay in one piece. 

You could make one out of straw if you tried hard enough

Let me start by saying, I couldn't do it better. I appreciate the effort, and it looks better than what I would have accomplished. But that definitely wasn't DIY-Perks level of design or execution.

And using wood and making it a traditional case with glass panel seems to be a wasted opportunity. Wood calls for integrating it into furniture or making it more furniture like. Or make it like a Fractal North, but all wood. 

 

If you want to have a traditional case, you quickly learn why metal is a superior material to wood. The only downside of metal is, a DIY person likely isn't equipped to build a case from scratch.
