Wooden Case 1

Goal of this project was to make computer case that would be:

  • Quiet
  • Good looking
  • Lots of drive bays
  • Easy to update

Good

  • Good looking.
  • Silent, all though if I was building this case now I would make ventilation shafts in bottom and top to make it even more silent (I think).
  • Enough drive bays.

Bad

  • Inside is a real mess. It is not easy to update (adding peripherals etc.), so one goal was not achieved

System:

  • Motherboard: Asus A7V133
  • Processor: AMD Athlon 1400 MHz
  • Hardrives: 15GB & 30GB IBM
  • Other things: Enermax power supply, Hollywood+, Firewire, SB Live, DVD, CD Burner (Lightning fast 2x).

You can download drawings from here. Note that this case changed a lot after the drawings were made.
