    Hello all!
    First of all, this is my first real modding/building so it´s not that great but I am satisfied with the result.

    Some pics:

    From behind it looks like this:

    And I have done some modding to the graphiccard and Networkcard :rock:
    Some inside pics may come up when it´s fixed. At this time it looks like a magpie´s nest, if you get my picture. It´s nothing to write home about.

    Fancontroller is homemade and build around the LM317T.

    Hardware:
    CPU: Intel P4 2,4GHz
    Mainboard: Soltek 85-ERV2
    Memory: 3X256MB noname
    HDD: 120 GB + 200GB Maxtor
    DVD: Lite-On SOHW-832S and JLMS XJ HD166S
    PSU: Aspire 500W (LED fans don´t look that great and will be removed)
    Fan: ADDA 120mm

    Some tools and a lot of sandpaper and liquid parafin for the final finish.
    And I don´t like round holes so I made them octagonal instead.

    Conclution:
    I really like modding so I will keep on :dremel:

    What do all of you supermodders at bit-tech think about my first mod?

    koola: I just have to fix the inside first. At this time it looks like a magpie´s nest. After some sleaving I will show you the result. But it will take some time because I have my hands full with a lot of other projects.

    Quite a lot of guys come from Sweden, do you know each other or something?

    Nice wooden mod, another guy from Sweden is also doing a wooden case! I say yours has a very nice finish to it.

    I really like the way you used wood plugs to cover up the fan grill screwholes.
    Also the octagon shaped fan holes are a nice touch.

    Maybe, but for me there was no alternative, I just love birch, it looks good and it´s preatty easy to work with.
