Hello All!
 
Here is my second custom case build I gave going at this time! This case is made out of 1/4" decorative plywood (Birch) 1/4" acrylic, and 2020 aluminum extrusion! I'll be making two more cases out of this wood material in Cedar and Walnut a bit later to see if the design works or not. So far this one went together flawlessly! 
 
I'll be installing my work station build into this case! Thank you for looking and enjoy the pic's!

Does look really nice. I kind of wonder if a wood stain or varnish might help. I am just wondering what airflow would do to the wood over time without something to help protect it.

I was thinking about it, but I also have wood in the colors of cedar, walnut, oak, and hickory. My brother said to flame burn the wood as well.....I said, ah, no!

Thank You! It's been a while due to work, but I am free to do quite a bit now and am looking to continue where I left off making not only cases, but other stuff like V1Tech makes, only cheaper and no RGB!

GREAT! Thats good to know that your back and have the time to make some stuff again. You know, if the world wasnt in such a crapper lately id suggest you and Nateman go into business together making super custom waterblocks and mods for cases and other components.

Hey Kirk, great to see you back in the picture. I love your work
Definitely a fan, great looking case. Do the fan/rad mounts have a bit of adjustment position wise, due to the channel used? It looks like it may, it could help people with some different fitment. DO you have a way to make the grills with filter media? Hope to see you more active.

Yes, both mounts can move up to 2-3" in either direction. I am in the process of adding filter material to the front panel and the bottom under the PSU and will show some pic's!

This is so beautiful.  Your detail is just draw dropping.  I mean it reminds me of something art deco related, and I love art deco.  If you were to ever stain it and give it a clearcoat and polish to a glass finish, I wouldn't be able to stop starring at it.
