hahah thanks for your support lol , i do have the tools to do it its just the measuring, im doin blue prints in my head and computer, its going to be made of acrylic glass, metal supports for hardware and maple wood. its going to have a cube look but the top and bottom are going to be the polished maple wood, so all around it will be see through acrylic. a little modern in a way i just want to break away from the regular atx designs

I don't like it at all, you just wont have as good airflow as a store build case, and having wood on it will look stupid.

But other wise good luck.

well how do u know it wont have as much good airflow, i can put up to 10 fans or a water cooling system if i want but w/e

Might want to say thats your OPINION.
Heck, I could have a case made out of leather, with it spraypainted orange and as long as I like it it would be cool to me. No reason to shoot someone down just because YOU don't like the idea. Don't like it? Then don't worry about it, its not yours.

<3 Bambi <3 If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all.



Back on topic. I like the idea. If it works, I might be pming someone about making another... maybe.

Good luck!

Who says? Some store build cases sucks at cooling. He can customize his fan mounts and make an excellent cooling case. As for the wood case, i think it'll look great, but we all have our own opinions.
