Wooden PC case like DIY Perk's

[Jerombolo]

Maybe you have seen his quite compact ATX wooden PC case. What would I need to consider if I'd do that too? I'll draw a "blueprint" now, I'll probably scan it and show it to you so that you can give your mustard to it

[Jerombolo]

Get SketchUp and make a model

I prefer to draw by hand

It's definitly a cool idea and a fun project.

But you really have to be sure what you're doing and it is a lot of work. Will probably take a few days at least.

Like you already said, I'd recommend to first make a few plans. Ask friends or people here on the forum what they think about your ideas and maybe we can come up with some suggestions.

Also keep upgradeability in mind. You don't want to end up with not enough harddrive mounts or something like that.

PSU dimensions/plate that it screws into. Cable management/motherboard tray. Front I/O. Probably fan spacing. Anything that would go into a standard case I guess. Just make sure you have enough airflow so it doesn't ignite and like Senzelian said, upgradeability. 

[Jerombolo]

I'll make a plan now But! I not look for dual SLI etc. Just a simple RIG.

Is it possible that I could take out the UI (front USB prots etc.) out of my current system and somehow integrate them into my new case?

Yeah. You'd have to unplug it from the motherboard and take out the little panel thing on the inside that has the USB stuff, then you just put it in the new one.

Isn't such a hard task, isn't it?

Guess it depends on the case that you're taking it from. Some are lightly screwed in and some have covers and bolts and yadda yadda yadda.

I'm looking forward to it^^

Sounds good I'd probably recommend to get a motherboard tray or rear I/O shield to simply the work there and proper alignment.

Should probably be in the modding sections of the forums

Thanks for the offer but I think I can do it by myself with my dad's help Also shipping from the US to Switzerland is quite expensive

[Jerombolo]

Forget it^^ I won't do it^^
