I saw this mentioned in a recent edition of a certain magazine I get strictly for the articles, and thought I'd share since I hadn't seen it before...Suissa Computers

If it's a repost... my apologies... it's new to me, and the search didn't bring it up.
 
roflrofl there using a TT big Water kit in there pictures. AHAHAHAHAHA....

But yeah those cases are really nice.. However i think the guys over at DD have a nicer wooden one. Its not hard to build a wodden case, you just need a good table saw and lots of patience in messurements. Id also think modding the wood into a case would be much easier then hack dicing a steel one with a dremel. 😛

Did you look at the freakin price... OMG. Definitely not worth it... NO WAY

Making something like that out of wood is EXTREMELY difficult - the woods they use, like Paudak, can easly cost $250 or more by themselves. It's a little high, but not to the degree you would think.

That said, wood is an abysmal thermal conductor - watercooling is likely necessary.

I must say, though, that they have some good ideas. I've already done a bit of work using wood, acrylic, and copper to make enclosures; I bet that I could produce something similar at a greatly reduced price.
 
i hope they line the interior of the case with a faraday cage or something. Wood doesn't exactly stop EMI, and at that price, you should be getting everything in the case.
 
Well... What I think is that what you are going to put into it wont be even half the cost of the case...

Its like Civic with a gold plated body...
If I have a 500Gs I would put in under its hood...
If i need a golden body I would but a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley and get a whole package...

a 7000 dollar case dont make no sence to me
