Yeah, so I finally bother doing a video on it :P

Pretty pleased with the results, I might need to build another one just add a few more improvements EG: space for more radiators!
NICE!!!! i've thought about it, but maybe for my next build....
i personally prefer darker stained wood, but thats just my opinion
I wanted to keep its natural pinkness :P
No stain in it
I've been building furniture for the past couple of years, this just might be my next project. Also, what wood did you use?
Tassy and Vic Oak.
we have the same tastes in wood staining... none.....
is it at least poly'd?
And how's the cooling?
mobo temps sky rocket, but its a 1366 socket x58 mobo. They are known to overhead, especially my particular mobo and no extra cooling from the cpu (since its water cooled).
The 180mm silverstone air penertrators cool it down (just) but another improvement i'd love to make is side cooling onto the mobo defenately.
The newer sockets certainly wouldnt suffer the same issues im having, and I would have fixed it with a water block if they made them for my mobo =(
Positives:
- GPU doesnt even need a fan, the back fan cools it so well.
- harddrives are very cool, barely go past 38C.
- CPU is fairly cool given the voltages at stick through it. It does hit low 84s in an unairconditioned lan party where the outside temp is 38C.
The definition of a "wooden PC" just got a whole new meaning.
Good job man :)
yah i guess i like a somewhat dark stain with a hint of red, just never personally liked pale looking wood, but it did turn out looking good. think if i ever did this i would go for a vintage radio type look
Sweet. What did you use to make it?
Your system is beautiful sir! nerd porn for sure
You have obviously spent a lot of time and effort in this build. Nice tight mitre joints always make the look complete. Very nice job.
