You can boogie to it.

CD, the skills you have with Acrylic and wood.. :respect:

CyberDruid · Mar 10, 2009

I like working with wood better. At least the shavings don't stick to me like Psycho Snow.

Binge · Mar 10, 2009

New Yankee Workshop has met it's match :toast:

Cold Storm · Mar 10, 2009

That is true. I've all ways loved working with wood over anything else.. Guess that's why I took Carpentry class all threw high school.. Relaxing.. Working with wood is..

aspire · Mar 10, 2009

What kind of price are we talking about for the wood involved?

EiSFX · Mar 10, 2009

Is the Purple wood isen't that stuff called Purple Heart or something like that anyways thats some very expensive wood and kinda hard to work with anyways nice work

Doesn't seem too horrendously priced...

I get my wood from eBay so I tried not to pay too much for it. It's still kind of pricey compared to say a piece of 2 x 4.

Thanks for the feedback guys I hope to have some more to show in the4 nextg day or so.

Almost Done

It's been great weather for working and I have been hard at it.

I started by gettting the lower assembly cut and fit. This part houses 4 HDDs, two ODDs and the PSU.

In this pic the pieces are friction fitted.

Stuff fits like this

Then I finished off the HDD caddy

Still just friction fitted

Then I cut PSA neoprene trips to cushion and deaden the noise for all the devices

These will be applied after the finish is completed

Then I cut, fit, laid out and dadoed the mobo gridwork

Again just friction fitted awaiting glue up

CyberDruid · Mar 12, 2009

Gluing up the lower supports

Mobo grid glued up and friction fitted betwen the rails to assure it does not rack

Then I laid out the standoff holes and got those installed

And then I cut trims to support the grid and glued that into place

Then I finished gluing up the lower support

The lower part is supported by angled trims

While that was drying I polished the aluminum parts of the HDD caddy

Then I started on the Trims that dress out the ODDs and frame a removable panel in the front.

CyberDruid · Mar 12, 2009

The Wenge (choclate color wood) frame will hold a piece of handmade paper (like a Japanese screen) and is removable for easy access without removing the mobo grid

I decided to change the details of the frame which I will show you later on today

The card bracket bar will go between the posts...but I have to get some wider strap I was using a long piece of 1" to check elevations

Having a walk around to look for gluemarks and other small edfects to sand off

Gluing up the trims in the front that frame the panel and drives

Here is where I leftoff: I have cut down the frame for the panel to make a 3/16" gap and now I need to mill some Purpleheart stops for the panel that will also space it from the Lopardwood. Once I have the frame glued I will set up the router table and bevel it with my 45 degree chamfer bit for a raised panel loom.

More to come!

Cd...

That is one hell of a set up!! from the skull thumb screws, to the custom done "CyberDruid Built PC"... Man your one hell of a builder!!!

Chicken Patty · Mar 14, 2009

CD, all I can say is :respect:

TheMailMan78 · Mar 14, 2009

I like it. Nice work. My only complaint (which is opinion) is the wood being different colors. I personally like everything to match. Wheres the fans or H20?

alexp999 · Mar 14, 2009

Nice! but I think this needs a 56k warning, it took about 2mins to download all the pics on my 8mb broadband connection!

Stop all those pron torrents

I have a slower connection than that, and it loaded all the pics before i even saw the first post of pics.

But it looks absolutly AMAZING CyberDruid, i especially like craftmanship of the wooden frame. Precisly made, just the way i like it

Sasqui · Mar 14, 2009

WOW!

So what are the different types of wood?

I assume some of the PC hardware are spares for fitting things together?
