One day I was sitting at home bored as usual. I was looking around my room and noticed that all the furniture I own is made out of wood. and I looked at my computer, and noticed it is the only all metal thing in my room (except my stereo). So I wondered if it was possible to build a wood case for it. As far as I know it has never been done. So I called my dad and asked him for any tips he would have. He told me what kind of wood I needed and what type of stain I needed, but that's all (big help he was). The next thing I did was call my sister and plead with her to take me to Lowes. Too make a long story short, I got everything I needed and built a wooden case for my comp, below are some pictures of the construction process.

This is how it all started...

Tearing apart my old case.

Still tearing apart my old case.

Another angle.

3 sides put together. They were hard to hold and screw strait too. Nobody would help me  :-(

Another angle of the 3 sides.

Got it all finished except the last side that wont go on until the comp is put in it.

Another angle.

Fitting the motherboard. That was one big nasty mess. I almost quit, but I remembered that I had to drill out several rivets on my old case to get it to come apart and I couldn't put it back together  :-)

Damnedable Damnation!!!!  I cut the hole too far to the right.

I finished cutting the front. if you look through to the back you can see that I also cut the hole for the power supply.

Another view of the back, this one shows the power supply hole.

Time to stain!

The stain is finished. This is the front. The comp is actually this light, the rest of the pictures make it look dark due to bad lighting.

The back after staining. Actually the rest of the comp looks more like this.

Putting everything together. The motherboard really pissed me off. first it was too low, then too high, finally after 45 minutes of careful measurements and drills it fit right. Oh and the power supply is supposed to go over the motherboard but due to lack of planning on my part it didn't fit right so that's why its in front of the motherboard.

Another angle.

The motherboard and power supply are in.

TADA!!!!! Its done. I lost the cover to my floppy disk drive and there will soon be 2 CD-ROM drives in it.

Another angle.

Yet another angle.

And this is the last picture. Thank you for visiting and be sure to throw away your drink and popcorn containers on the way out.

P.S. I did not plan any of this. I did it all on a hit and go basis. I built it the same day I thought of the idea. I would also like to thank my dad and step mom for giving me the gift certificate to Lowes for my birthday that I used to buy (almost) everything. This whole project, after tax cost exactly $32.20. That included all the screws, sandpaper, stain, wood, and 2 paintbrushes.
