Black Steel case with wood side panels
Posted: Sat Jul 14, 2007 12:49 pm
So I started this project yesterday and got it most of the way done as it was a short project.
I found a dirty black atx case by a dumpster and a monitor, picked them us as they were exactly what I needed. The case was missing both side panels though which I didn't like. So I took some thin oak, less than a 1/4 inch, probably an 8th and cut it to fit. then my friend and I drilled some holes on the back side for four screws. and on the front we drilled holes to mount small hinges to open toward the back side, and one screw hold to put a thumb screw in to hold the door closed. I'll post up some pictures when I'm done staining it. It's nothing that exciting but we had this wood lying around and I wanted sides on this case. the case will probably have "the woody" spray painted onto the top of the black case also, if I can make a cool enough stencil.
