Look at this.
And this.

Maybe not to your taste exactly, but might provide some ideas.

i was thinking along the lines of the first one. i cant put the top of the case back on because the graphics card is too tall so maybe a could build the top half. then i can watch movies and hear what people say again

thank you clocker

Sure.
I've toyed with the idea of a wooden case myself, being intrigued by the easy malleability of the material.
You can achieve shapes and effects with wood that are simply not possible for the home metal banger.

yes sence u just said that im thinking of a wierd design for a case, hmmmm my mind is working

[TheDave]

i just realised. ive got the perfect case right in front of me. its old school err old school desk, all i need to do is measure it, check it doesnt crunch my graphics card and get permission from mum to cut a fan hole or two, cut the cd bay and power button.

A watercooled wooden case!! Now THAT is a challenge...

[mattesca]

air cooled is still the hardest

Actually, there is nothing inherently more difficult about one or the other, they have differing requirements, that's all.

You have a decided advantage here, Mattesca...you are starting from scratch, not trying to shoehorn components into an already existing box, so you can make exactly what you want.

Try not to blow it.

Is that a recommendation for water cooling then?
