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?

Well maybe if I had some Dade County Pine I'd make one all one species

The guy that get's this one has all external LC cooling and wants to figure out his own cooling arrangements. It would be a simple thing to mount a fan to some brackets or standoffs to cool the drives. The mobo and RAM will likely get their own coolers.

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

It took at least that long for me...it's ridiculous.

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

Thanks

WOW!

So what are the different types of wood?

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

The cornerposts are Purpleheart. The rails are Leopardwood (also called Lacewood, Silkwood). The grid work that supports the gear is Mahogany. The little cleats that support the grid and the removable panel are Wenge. The wood is raw so it in no way looks like it will under shellac. The Purpleheart will become a burgundy, the Leopardwood will become a deep honey, amber and the flakes and rays will pop out like Tiger's Eye, the Wenge will become a much richer and deep brown and the Mahogany will take on an orange tone.

The HW is all junker gear Ikeep for layouts and fitment.

Wow. Seems more like something you'd put in your living room than a PC techbench

Exactly. The guy I decided to make this for will cherish it like a fine antique

Duffman · Mar 18, 2009

CyberDruid · Mar 18, 2009

I did this one out of love for the craft. I dunno if I want to repeat it. I've got maybe 100 hours in it...and the wood aint cheap...

Ahhzz · Mar 18, 2009

Wow..that's a lotta crafting time.. I didn't realize...Not to be asking for a repeat performance...but do you mind letting us know about how much this particular project is costing your lucky customer?
