If the intake isn't large enough there will be a lot of noise even with the silent design. I'd make that intake atleast 2-4 times larger

edit: also there is no exhaust

I hope you use hardwood and sand it down. That will be a pretty heavy rig lol but nice idea.

Aesthetically speaking this is a great idea for a custom case. I agree that the ambient noise of components would be reduced dramatically. A good rule of thumb when working with wood is to avoid flush mounting any components (rads especially) on it ruining their ability for heat dissapation. Cyberdruid has made quite a few insprational wood sig rigs, he might be able to help you out with this build and drop you some decent advice on getting the most out of this concept. (+1 for the initial design btw)

Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
