Been planning this build since i sold my previous case due to my actual space limitations (too big and heavy). I didn't want to spend a lot $$ on it since it will be more a benchtable than a "full case", so I'll be using old wood planks from my backyard, althoug they'll get a rejuvenation in the process (or at least i'll try lol

).
The main structure will be full made of wood with some metal and yellow accents (due to the components color).

For the components i'll be using my current main rig:

Motherboard: MSI Z87 Mpower SP
CPU: Pentium G3258 @4.5Ghz
CPU Cooler: Lepa LV12 Black
GPU: Powercolor R9 280X TurboDuo
GPU Cooler: Prolimatech MK-26
Ram: Crucial Ballistix Tactical @1866Mhz
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1Tb
SSD: Corsair Force GT 90Gb
PSU: OCZ ZT-750 750w

This is the main idea and what i'm aiming to, but it could be subject to changes.

After some (a lot

) sanding it starts to look nice

I left a hole above the PSU because there is where the 8pin cpu cable is going to pass through.

Some work on the motherboard tray.





Wood filler, doesn't look as good as i though :/ , guess the lacquer could fix it

Still unsure about what lacquer tone to use...

It has a kinda red-ish finish, it's my favorite but the one in the middle looks very nice also

Yeah but the far right looks more like your model. The middle one looks dull, but hey whichever you like, I've always liked darker color wood finishes. Either way this build is going to be sick, I can't believe no one else has subbed this build. Definitely an original build, I love it.

Did some work on the feets, put a piece of wood inside and filled the borders with wood filler/glue, now they just need a good sanding and they're good to go.




More paint

Decided to change the front panel with a better plank, less old and dirty, also it's higher so it's at the levelof the motherboard tray now. Also made two brackets to hold the front panel in it's place and to be able to remove it.
