**forcifer** · 01-17-2008, 04:29 PM

wee guess whats happening next? i already have a side panel. techpro, dont say anything :P

i do have more pics, but they are going to have to wait till im done

HawMan · 01-17-2008, 04:37 PM

Haha, Wicked.. Cant wait for more pics

**oddball2910** · 01-17-2008, 06:50 PM

I'm interested to see where this goes, and the final result.

**forcifer** · 01-17-2008, 06:56 PM

hehe well its going to have to wait a bit. the major thing im doing has to wait at least a week, if not more...actually, def more all depends though on friends/dad (dad for supervision, all he did was show me how to use jig saw)

I can see this turning into smething both awesome and beautiful. I just wonder how thermal will be affected since wood works as an insulator.

**forcifer** · 01-18-2008, 06:14 PM

heh it will look pretty cool. im debating on showing more pics, etc and what i plan on doing with it

**magnethead** · 01-18-2008, 06:52 PM

I'd like to see some more of it..it ranks up there with my robot and that custom case idea i had...

**forcifer** · 01-18-2008, 07:30 PM

here ya go. sorry, need to keep the watermark just in case ;)

**magnethead** · 01-18-2008, 10:07 PM

well, i don't see a rear fan cutout, there's a good bit of room between the motherboard and power supply (which also is not cut out yet), and you're using mini toggle switches. I know one's for power, what's the other for?

**TheMatt** · 01-18-2008, 11:23 PM

Looks good. I think the hardest part will probably measuring out the holes to mount the motherboard and drive bays. Is that plywood you are using?

Reset?

**forcifer** · 01-19-2008, 01:10 AM

yup. motherboard mounted, psu cut out, all i need to do is mount in psu, wire in cables and im fine. btw, the pics dont do it justice. this case is HUGE. it doesnt need anymore fans

**magnethead** · 01-19-2008, 08:57 AM

like i said before i was tinking about doing someting similar with one of my old ATX cases and modding it out with sheet metal.But maybe plywood would be easier/cheaper/quicker. Leess you zapped part of my idea into yours.

**forcifer** · 01-19-2008, 11:13 AM

lol. metals are so much harder to work with. all the bending and stuff, requires some hardcore machinery. id recommend you stick to wood

i've got some idea formulating kinda combingin the two. You kind of main case combined with the sheet metal of an existing case to make mountings easier...i already got lines drawn to cut with the die-grinder.

**forcifer** · 01-19-2008, 12:44 PM

its possible. im about to get in some pics. all i need to do is screw in psu, vacuum case (it is REALLY dirty) and turn it on XD

**forcifer** · 01-19-2008, 02:19 PM

almost everything is installed..at least i thought so

just shows how freaking big this case is

my drive rails. maybe a forerunner for whats to come? o.O

how i turned them black. if you cant tell, i set them on fire

psu slot cut

original glue broke so i bolted the back panel in

just a view of the back panel

drive rails after clear coat so they dont shed the blackness

hard drive installed!

installed a fan also just because i could XD

fan close up

fan grill...of sorts

this took alot of thinking but i decided to hold the vga steady with some wire and a hole drilled through the case. simple, but it works.

everything inside! only problem is that is the ugliest cabling ive ever seen, but there isnt a whole lot i can do about it.

IT FINALLY TURNS ON! :D:D it works...too bad i just get to take it apart again to decorate it XD

it boots...it works....i spazz...freaking hungry. hours spent? over 30 is my guess

btw, for decorating, im going to burn it with a propane torch/lighter fluid.

Truly amazing work, #1!!

**magnethead** · 01-19-2008, 04:58 PM

crap that thing IS humangous!!!

**forcifer** · 01-19-2008, 05:13 PM

there is so much open space :D perfect for storing stuff, like ipods, speakers, small children, animals, jolt (because it has a cap, if it is knocked over it doesnt matter)...

**emosun** · 01-19-2008, 05:31 PM

I almost made a wood pc a long time ago but I was worried about the wood absorbing alot of heat, or catching fire lol.
