Hi Lee, no, the only cooling is the 120mm fan on the bottom that will act as an intake fan. The CPU is cooled by an H70 Corsair water cooler (blowing air out at the back). The bottom have space for 200mm (by 120mm) fan if more cooling is needed. Bear in mind that this is more a LAN pc (media PC) rather than an uber high end gaming rig.

You going to do some venting holes in the side with a 200mm Fan - ie. uber cooling?

Progress now is slow because of the time lapse between oil coats.

The pieces of wood is starting to look like the resemblance of a pc case.

I am treating the wood with Danish low lustre oil.

Morph, all i can say is that i have learnt a lesson on the mahogany built which i think is coming in at about 35kg (if not more) with all its drives installed. I recon this one should come in at about 15kg fully setup. Bear in mind that it will only have one or two 2.5" drives, also it is a lot smaller than the previous built.

Mega you are so correct! I am not sure what is more fun, designing it , building it, or playing on it. What i can definatly confirm carry it around is not fun!

Looking good, what's the expected weight on completion?

I'm just looking, and I prefer eating walnuts

I imagine making wooden pc cases can be very satisfying.
