My old rig did well! time for a new rig, but why get rid of the ole beast. https://www.modsrigs.com/detail.aspx?BuildID=25549So I made a 4/4 live edge walnut case from some left over stuff in the garage. I used some 1/2" copper pipe and 1.25" copper pipe for some brackets. The rest is just some guess work and lesson learning. I put the PS about 3/4" from wall and the MB about 1" higher, thinking why not open it up! Well that gap and the 1" thick board both ways made my cable to the CPU almost...almost to short. But it works and is a nice build. I hope to figure out a way to incorporate some usb, hdd and power lights, and a power switch into the live edge so its hidden and smooth looking. .jpg)

thanks gang!
I was going to put my RGB build in it, but think that counters the rustic or maybe it balances it out... hmm
Oh yeah, she does fire up just fine.

please no! But if you really want, then only in brown/green or other warm colors, so that it look "natural"
