Thread: Wooden Computer Case - Woodkit

Everyone, Introducing a Computer Case Made of Wood. I finished this Wooden Computer Case project past October, and thats when I took these pictures but never found the time to show it to you. The whole idea was to make it small and compact, wood has some good properties one of them include drowning the noise produced by the regular computer fans and hard drives. So here it is,

Well, To be completely honest, It's actually made of using cheap quality plywood particle board with a wooden textured / vinyl surface. Plywood is liter and easier to work with than traditional wood, that's why. I will try to find some more worklog pictures and post them later.






Mr. Bill Loves Boxes as you know..










Here are some more shots of the front (bezel).
I have since reworked on the rear and now it houses a undervolted 120mm noctua fan instead.






This mod It was actually part of the TG File Server Build - The Hardware project I was working on at that time, and currently I have it placed next to the GHOST in the attic, using it as the TG File Server housing all the hardware and files backups.

I placed some watermark / tags this time while resizing them, not sure if it was the right thing to do but let me know if you guys dont like it and rather want the originals uploaded? ......There are a few other things that I have done and would like to show you all, I remember changing 3 different EVGA motherboards last year, also recall doing a passive CPU cooler northbridge mod on one of the x58 classified boards that I am using on GHOST. I try posting them in the next few days..



Well, Thats all for today, untill next time,
Take care and Happy Modding..



Cheers,
Zaid

That Looks Cool.........!but I Think Plywood Bends over time?

Thanks Meraj, They do bend, the plywood hardboard sheets.
But I used some 1/2 inch thick panels all over.
not sure if its exactly plywood but a similar variety, Pretty similar to this stuff below
pretty thick stuff, probably won't bend on its own.

edit: I think its called Fiberboard / Particleboard, Meraj. Somewhat similar to plywood, only weaker.

hmm Bend Na Holei Valo......

ore jotil to bro heat hoy naki???

hmmmm temp koto ashe????

Wood is a Bad Conductor of Heat..........

It gets hot, specially the top and front. I could leave my coffee mug on top of the box and it will stay "warm". I could probably even move it to my bedroom during winter season and avoid turning the heater on. But then again, GHOST probably would be a better space heater candidate for that purpose, thanks to the heat the 480's output.

Wood is not a good conductor of heat, however its pretty good insulator for sound. I designed it to be as small, quite and well ventilated as possible, to run with little or no airflow. The Rear fan is an Intake and there is however a slow Antec 120mm fan in the power supply which acts as the exhaust. I have since replaced the little 80mm rear fan with one of those 120mm Noctua Fans, which I keep switched off unless its under heavy load


While most of the dual - quad core processors you use are 1.2 - 1.3v and see load temps of 60c - 70c at load, Woodkits single core Processor is a 2.8Ghz Northwood (Overclocked to 3.5Ghz) runs at 1.8 ~ 1.88v with a massive passive heatsink (no fans) and sees temps under 65c at load.

thats very good

Very good work indeed!
Why don't you make some for us?! ;P
