A wooden beast :)

copenhagen69 · Feb 18, 2010, 10:15 PM

Been looking into getting a test bench/tech station type setup for a long time now. Since I have built or extreme modded every case i have ever owned I started thinking why should this case be any different.

sooooooooo after being inspired by a few others I have seen over the past month or so, I figured it was time.

It will be white and (not sure) ... still in the design phase and have not yet worked out what other color I should go with yet. Trying to think of something that will help keep the noticeable dust at a minimum

Everything horizontal will be one color and everything vertical will be another color.

I am thinking like a dark red for the other. not sure still thinking on it though.

Yep, do not be jealous of my mad drawing skills

the 'Duke' I was thinking of cutting it out with a colored acrylic behind it so it will shine through in a nice color ... or somehow cut out the acrylic to fit in the holes (not sure about that though, we shall see)

PSU may go in the middle to help for maximum efficiency of wire management so still thinking on it.

trying to make it water cooling compatible so thinking one side will be able to house a swifttech 320 rad ... or 220 .. not sure what yet ... but water cooling will be a little further down the line. I just want to make sure I can do it when I want to. (look at the Back plan and you will see my idea) trying to keep the rad standing up. Never have been a fan of sideways rads.

Got those 2 pieces ready to cut for the most part. they are both 2' x 3' .... so that leaves me a lot of room to put stuff

and yes this will be one heavy SOB when I get done with it haha

copenhagen69 · Feb 19, 2010, 01:31 AM

so far I am liking #1 and #7 .. what do yall think?

It will but cut out in the wood so just remember that

any other cool looking fonts out there? (asian, japanese style fonts)

DirectorC · Feb 19, 2010, 03:10 AM

7 looks good but that E looks accented so when I pronounce what I see in my head it's like Dook-Aye...

I like what you did there. That's almost the same thing I was thinking.

copenhagen69 · Feb 20, 2010, 02:16 AM

just found this for my template to use on my rad setup ... seems like it will work perfect since they even listed the rads it will work with

99vw · Feb 20, 2010, 02:49 AM

Sweet I can't wait to see this done. I have also been thinking about making a testing platform, but mine will probably just be an acrylic sheet.
