Bro. This is fucking endgame level setup aesthetically speaking. Did you BUILD that case yourself?? Or did you find it somewhere or what? I must know. I also see your GPU is mounted outside, and what is the big ass fan blade thing inside?

Aye! Thanks my dude!

I did, but I made it out of a bamboo shoe rack from goodwill and some scrap plexiglass.

The gpu is on a long PCIe extender.

And the fan is cooler master’s G100m low profile fan. Just painted it a bit to match the style.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Hows the thermals in the case? I'm assuming not too great, but if you did it yourself I could totally be wrong.

Wait why would the thermals be bad?

Well because wood is known to not be too great at heat dispersion/dissipation, but certain metals usually are. I also didn't notice where air vents might be(but again that might just be I haven't seen them yet) But if you say it runs like a dream, I believe you. I love the look of this setup and have been wanting a wooden case for a looong time now. Just gotta find one that has good thermals.

Yea, I got you there is no wood touch any component. It’s just an open air case, so there isn’t really any over heating issues. The only thing enclosed is the PSU. You can kind of see the grate above it. The biggest issue is dust because their are no filters. Lol so in a couple weeks if I don’t can air it we will have some super terrible issues

What do you think of getting one later cut and just do an open air type thing too?

OH I saw the reflection of the keyboard on the front of the case, and assumed there was plexiglass covering the side of the internals you can see and was like "hm. This seems like there might not be a good amount of airflow." But now i see that panel is actually open and is just me assuming things!

Also, I'm unsure what you mean by getting one later cut?

Oh I mean like that you can get the right one laser cut or CNC’d to just fit together like a puzzle and it can look However you want, ya know .
