I like it, very nice. Only thing I wonder about though is if you can get enough airflow with only a 0.75" gap? I would almost double that, I could be way off though.
Ducted Wooden Case Designed for WC-ing Good Enough for "Silent Computing?"
I've been working on the design of a wooden case to house water cooled rigs. The design is unique because the radiator intakes are fed by built-in air ducts. Thus, fan noise is blocked by the outer layer of wood. It should be very quiet (near "silent"?) because the case is practically a case-within-a-case.
Even though there are a lot of the moving parts in a water cooled rig, the design of this case should make it quieter than most. Do you think this is just a hair-brained idea or an idea worthy of further investigation/design?

If I widen the case just a smidgen, a 140mm fan will fit in the back which should make it cool and quiet.

It doesn't have to be active cooling but you need to get the heat out. Other than that, it looks like a great idea and has the potential to be a lovely case. |
