It can have up to 13 drives in it with a cage (includes optical and floppy bays), two fans, blue led, and a maple finish. Also, it has a cube like case design and inside the cables are cleanly placed for air flow.

Outside

But I am deciding on a name for it. Anyway, enjoy. :)

The power switch is from radio shack and they are momentary switches. You can find them two per pack for around $2.49 I think.

And I did not use any old case parts. Just Wood and aluminum.

And more pics are posted.

That is a work of art! Looks like it would blend well with colonial decor. I give it a 10 amongst the wooden cases I have seen before. Check my case out, link provided in sig.

It looks great...

Are you planning on painting it? I think it would look nice with a paint job. Not the regular paint, though. There's some paint used only on woods, it gives it a nice dark brown and shine, and keeps the texture. I don't know what's it called, maybe someone else does...

Already painted. :)

It is a stain with clear coat combo finish I picked up from Minwax. Two coats will give a gloss that also maintains the wood grain.

Opps... I though wood paint looks much more darker... My bad. :)

So, how are your CPU's temps?

<< Just hope nothing blows up and it catches on fire :) Either way, why wooden? >>

Well, it looks cool, and wood does a fine job of absorbing sound. In case you're wondering, yes, a Delta screamer would still piss you off.

Cpu Temperatures are at 104F with the heatsink fan blowing into the motherboard. I don't think it is too bad for a setup. :)

System Temps if I can remember are around 65F
