I thought this was going to be an actual guitar cabinet build when I clicked on the link. 
But the result looks nice!

Guitar Cab Build
I had this idea a bit ago. I wanted to build a rig that was enclosed in what looks like a guitar cabinet(just speakers/no amp). I hadn't seen anything like this....so why not?
This was the original concept(not to scale)

This is what I started with....

I ordered the front USB/Audio/Reset from Phanteks

It was time for some color. I went with Minwax Solid Stain. The color is called Fiesta Orange.

I went with the Corsair Hydro X Series XR7 360mm rad. I believe they are made by Hardware Labs.

I didn't really want to mount the rad directly to the case, so I used two L brackets, then cut a groove to attach it to the plate.

I'm pretty happy with it.
It's not perfect, but for a amateur wood worker, with limited tools(basically a small table saw, and cordless drill.....I think it came out pretty good.
