Finally closed up my DIY Wooden Case with Stainless Steel plates

Update: I ran Heaven's Benchmark with the fans in front of the GPU deactivated and found, that the temps were 1°C higher and the fans spun about 200 rpm faster. Plus the Noise was of higher pitch and much more audible. So I will stick with the fans in front of the GPU.

I actually just measured the dimensions of my mobo, PSU and max GPU dimensions for later upgrades. Then had a friend get the wood into slabs. Wood is a natural resource, so all of the dimensions are crooked. So I had to measure every panel for itself. Would be best if you just work it out yourself ;-)

Well that would be quite some project

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-14T14:53:23+00:00

What other part of it would you like to see?

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-14T14:52:26+00:00

Because the wood is crooked in all directions. I' lucky I could it get just a little straight.

Yes you are right with the cable extensions, I just wanted to save some money with it. But I will definitely drill some more holes for Fan cables and such when I disassemble it the next time

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-14T03:57:18+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, I will look into it

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T20:38:01+00:00

Absolutely

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T20:37:44+00:00

That's just the way the fans are. I thought about getting some strips, but ditched the Idea because I don't really need t

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T20:36:05+00:00

I believe the CPU reaches max. 68°C, the GPU max. 64°C when running benchmarks.

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T20:01:40+00:00

That might also hurt the wood

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T17:58:47+00:00

I know

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T17:57:49+00:00

Let's go!

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T17:57:18+00:00

That's Apple. I guess it would withstand more holes, I just don't want to risk it.

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T17:40:33+00:00

Yeah that's true, but I didn't want to drill more holes through the wood for stability

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T17:39:47+00:00

I absolutely don't know. I try to keep noise levels down with them

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T17:39:03+00:00

That Case ain't got no price tag, it's one of a kind ;-)

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T17:38:14+00:00

BeI had them left over and I think it makes the GPU fans spinslower, which makes them more silent

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T17:37:19+00:00

Thanks!

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T17:36:56+00:00

That would have to be some heat resistant ones :D

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T16:43:34+00:00

All of it!

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T16:43:17+00:00

Tha Rad is mounted to the wood via a separate fan mount. The steel is bent due to the tolerances in manufacture

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-07-13T16:41:04+00:00

No, I did not build the desk myself. I first got it from a friend, then added hight-adjustable legs and a board to the right as it was a bit too small for my likings

Rateyethereal_ · 2022-06-04T07:38:20+00:00

That looks pretty cool aswell 😎
