WOODLICIOUS!? - DIY PC Case | EVGA 1080ti FTW3 | Arctic Liquid Freezer 280

I go through the process of building my 2nd wooden ITX PC Case. There are several learnings/ impovements I have implemented from my previous wooden case. The overall design goal was similar to my previous case, clean case with minimal exposed screws, glass side panels to show off the components and cable management, all while not compromising too much with cooling performance.
1. Using mitred cuts to join the main frame together to have a seamless joint (no end grain showing)
2. Using 2 magnets to attach the glass panel onto the case. A thinner piece glued onto the glass means they are more robust (less likely to break off)
3. The height restriction of the CPU cooler in the previous case was a limitation to the CPU temperature. In this case, I implemented a design that could accomodate a thick 280mm AIO for more CPU cooling potential
The overall design goal was similar to my previous case, clean case with minimal exposed screws, glass side panels to show off the components and cable management, all while not compromising too much on cooling performance.
Parts:
- i5 10400F
- EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW3
- Asus Strix B460i
- Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB SL 32 GB (16x2)
- Arctic Liquid Freezer ii 280 ARGB
- Silverstone SX650G

[@RICHARDBRAXIL]

I've watched a lot of computer assembly videos, but I've never seen your art, I really admire your excellent work, congratulations!!! It's a lot of art, Greetings from Chile.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thank you very much!

[@MR-vg7yn]

Looks great! The one thing I'd change: The front "grill" with the honeycomb design would do well with a dust filter backing and magnets holding it in place, so you can easily detach it, clean it and put it back on. Other than that, this is a pretty awesome case.

[@PinataOblongata]

Was going to say the same thing, but also to make it flush, rather than sinking the radiator flush. This could maybe still be done if there is room behind the rad, by printing some different brackets.

[@sealseal3803]

that case looks absolutely amazing, awesome craftsmanship !!

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks very much!

[@xyzcases]

Great work! Looks amazing. Really showing how good a wood case can look when putting the effort into it.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thank you very much! :)

[@jrobiii1]

Looks like you got an LTT bump. Great work... you're inspiring both woodworkers and PC builders at the same time!

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thank you for the support! 😊

[@TinyMaths]

Honestly man, that's one gorgeous PC case, such a beautiful look.
I could see by the video that you were in no hurry to make this, took care of every fine detail. Impressive.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Indeed I took my time haha, thanks!

[@marksadventures3889]

Another excellent build. Such craftsmanship- you are to be congratulated young sir.

[@ryandilbeck7714]

@@mxcbuilds6633 hey I know that this video is a little old but do you sill happen to have the STLs for the brackets that you made for the cooler and the video card? I would like to build a case similar to it and was wondering if they were available anywhere

Wow this a one beautiful case and computer setup. I like the fact that it is stylish and simple looking at the same time.

truly inspirational showing what can be achieved with simple power hand tools; too many channels focusing on up-scaled tools achieving similar results; keep it up; had a great time watching.
[edit]: excellent video work and keeping the music in the back.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thank you! I would love to make a build using CNC and more laser cutter work, but will have to make do with what I have at the moment

You made it look so easy. Great job. If only there were places to buy wooden cases out there.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

The magic of video editing haha, it was most definitely not easy...

[@JeffDeWitt]

An outfit canned nMEDIAPC used to sell one, they look like old radios. My two desktops are built in those cases. They are cool cases and I like them a lot, but they are nothing like this. The nMEDIAPC case is made out of some pressboard stuff, while the one MXC is building are works of art.

[@DIOS_PRIMERO]

Beautifully done my friend. Thanks for the details I appreciate it.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks for watching 😃

[@WildRapier]

The case is flawless. The most unique thing, other than the wood is the GPU placement on the backside of the motherboard. I've been waiting to see someone do that!

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks for the kind words. But I can't take all this credit, there are actually many computer cases that have this same layout.

[@dbnoho]

This is impressive. But the fact you used the tools that you did is very very impressive. Congratulations on seeing it through.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thank you!

[@SFoX]

It's so good! If you come back to it and want to refine it a bit more, I'd suggest creating a recess for an LED strip that has a higher density so everything sits flush and defuses cleanly.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

That's a great idea! At the time of building this case I didn't have a router to cut out a channel to fit led strips. Now I have...👀
