The First Wooden case Mod (Rest in Pieces)




Here was our first wooden case mod. We slapped this together without any real sort of plan. Unfortunately, not planning ahead made the unit extremely difficult to service later and pieces were literally falling off as we went along. You can see many similarities to the Retro Case. At least this unit did not die in vain. We learned a whole wackload of lessons just from this one. A good concept and will be reworked in future designs with the same basic style in mind.
This unit can go down in the history books as RC Wood Creations' very first computer design project. Stay tuned to see if this case makes a comeback with a new and improved design.
Incidentally, this unit ran at about 32C case temperature. Not bad considering my basic metal box unit runs at 43C with 3 fans.
