I won’t bore you with the testing phase, it did take a while to balance the airflow in such a tiny box, but I managed it with a single fan sucking air across the motherboard from left to right and it was happy temperature wise even on the warmest days.

Everything got a couple of coats of varnish, and when I updated it last year I added another shelf and an extra monitor since I had a spare video output on my upgraded rig.

The internal light is off most of the time, but provides a nice ambient light when required, I was tempted to slap some disco LED's inside, but common sense prevailed !!

Enjoy

I'm thinking of building a smaller scale version for my son, loosing one cdrom drive and the power panel to let the face sit further into the corner, mine was restricted as theres data trunking under the desk.

If you fancy a crack at it and need any dimensions, or advice just shout, more than happy to assist.
