ghetto is true, but can you think of anything that could be easily done to improve the look?

I like the case..... but, dude, you have to get woodgrain faceplaces for your CD and floppy! LOL :)

Or maybe recess them and put a little cover over them, and make it look like a regular drawer or something...

Very nice.

Been thinking about making a wooden cabinet myself. Maybe aluminum with rosewood sides like older stereo equiptment.

I like the case. Nice job. I see the huge fan but I don't know what you're going to do with it. Where are you going to blow? That thing is huge! Pretty interesting.

Do you need to have all the connections exposed? Why not just cut a hole in the bottom of the wood and run all the cables in through that. You could route them on the inside of the case and then make the connections on the inside. Looks good otherwise, and thanks for giving me some ideas.

The DvD Drive and the floppy are the only things that are not hooked in, they are just setting there on the brackets that i riped out of my packard bell case. This is so hopefully in the future i can stealth them or make a door

Dude... that's extraordinarily classy!

When I get my first house, I'll have to consider doing that, if I have a PC in the family room... hmm....
