fantastic job my friend, I have only one question sinse you covered the fire aspec what about warping from heat?

Looks awesome! Don't know about the fan grills though, they just don't seem to match the rest of the case. I've made my own from some 1/8" Cherry:

They break very easily. I ended up breaking the ATI grill on accident with my finger. The UC grill broke in 3 places and the AMD grill in 1 when I was cutting them.

My own wood case had some problems from warping. The front panel cracked at a board joint in 2 places: above the grill and below the grill. The huge right side panel also warped a little, but not enough to effect anything.

Chris.....I must say you really have out-done any wooden PC I've seen in a while. Green sabbath has some nice stuff as well. Props to both of you for such extremely precise and detailed work. Amazing, brilliant, inspiring and absolutely stunning. Smashing success Chris!!! I love it. Don't change a thing.

Man, this looks great!

C-Sniper 27th August 2008, 18:22

amazing, your wood crafting is incredible. I honestly have never seen that much put into a case like that.

Cheapskate 27th August 2008, 19:32

I'll say it again. It's an absolutely lovely case. It would look very natural in a tropy room style study.

JUST BEAUTIFUL. GREAT WORK MY FRIEND. I REALLY ADMIRE IT.

Marvelous sliding door!

[USRF]Obiwan 28th August 2008, 11:57

Awesome looking case, to bad I am a modern-arty liking person who hates antique.
However... I really appreciate the incredible craftsmanship of the builder.

Great case.
I really like the idea of thermistors used to control the fan speed. I don't know why I haven't seen that before.
