CNC Wood ITX PC Case.

[@RacingPotato12]

The longest KZbin video I've ever watched without skipping or stopping lol. This is pure art!

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thank you, that means alot these days :))

[@ChairmanMeow1]

I feel stupid for asking on an earlier video if you were inspired by the fractal north case. Its obvious your skill in woodworking goes way back. It's really commendable that you're multi talented in things. This is art. You know what would be cool, is if you made a case that looks like an item thats usually made of wood in the first place. Like a piano, a boat, a building, something like that.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Don't feel stupid, it was a valid question :). Thanks for the suggestions :)

[@RedsBusker]

i've been hypnotized by the mix between woodworking and 3D print. It's an amazing work

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching :)

[@ping170]

Quick tip to avoid router drift : route the other way, always with the guide on the left ! The cutting efforts on the bit will help pushing the router base against the fence, thus avoiding escapes if you loosen the lateral pression 😉 Wood, especially when thermalised, is pretty weak in cross grain direction (not to mention cracks) as you discovered 😱 Another nice PC in the end 👍

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks for the tip! Yeah the thermo oak was very dry and probably not ideal for detailed work such as this. Such a shame as the colour is amazing.

[@Riktamorty]

You two are awesome. Great conversation to read

Those top smoked acrylic slats with the subtle chamfers... holy, that's wayy to clean. Love the brass too, especially on the GPU outside the case.

Thanks 👍glad you like them ☺️

[@stephanschultink7570]

What a true piece of art you've made! I can see you've put a lot of heart and soul and also, a lot of thought into this build. You've conquered many challenges along the journey and the result is just as ashtonishing as your expectations as you have imagioned. Absolutely great!

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks for watching and following along. It made it all the more rewarding overcoming those challenges 😊

[@mfcj09]

Sir I must say, if I could pay you to build me a custom case with pc parts with your fantastic finishing touches I would certainly do so. You are masterful with your design, creativity, and finish. Pure artistic talent.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks for the interest. Unfortunately I'm not geared up to produce these in a cost effective manner.

[@Braven9975]

Working with wood is impractical to manufacture for a pc case and fragile, as you have shown in this video, also the work you have to put into it to make it look good. I commend you for your patience and talent to create these beautiful cases, it's not for everyone because it's an art!

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thank you! Usually it isn't too bad, this piece of wood had a critical flaw in it which made it worse.

[@Firesoul001]

I have an old Zalman Z11 case with similar angled vents on the top (very Lamborghini, you're right), but I just ripped them off to make space for a cleaner look... and eventually reskin the case with wood :D Your videos are a great source of inspiration. Thanks.

3:27 I have that same saw and I have had it for about 35 years now. I got a new one of the same model so I now have 2 of them. It's an amazing saw and I am shocked at how long it has lasted and still works to this day with all its power that it came with the day that I bought it 35 years ago.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Wow, that’s just beautiful man great work.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

[@adlz518]

The 3D printed sanding stick at 10:33 made me smile. I love the use of it for custom tools/jigs. The possibilities seem endless. Beautiful build, the Lamborghini louvers inspiration stood out and is a great aesthetic yet functional touch for something that needs to breathe. Did you ever consider pushing the inspiration further and mounting the panels from underneath to hide the fasteners maybe? If feasibility was an issue highlighting them with the brass screws makes sense

[@mxcbuilds6633]

I agree I love the practicality of a 3d printer for stuff like this. That's an interesting idea, I havent considered, mounting from the bottom. Thanks for the suggestion :)

Your cases are amazing functional art and have a beautiful precision and linier design that is awe provoking to say the least. BTW I don't know what you do for your workouts but your body shows the same amount of care and time as your cases. It would be nice to know, if it isn't too personal, how you train. I love your content, it is very satisfying to watch considering the level of OCD I also have and I hope you continue to make this soothing, inspirational and amazing content.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks! Sorry the designs done suit your needs. I am just too addicted to the SFF sizing

[@YouvBeenThumped]

@@mxcbuilds6633 It's all good. You do amazing work. I'll just have to resize the panels to fit what I need on one of your products on etsy. And then will make it so the 5.25 bays fit in the back of the case.

[@SiniousNefarious]

Nice idea for glassy top panel 🎉

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thank you!

[@silvrcel]

Awesome build! Looks really impressive, and I like the way the GPU is vented with the acrylic. With the acrylic panels, you can further refine them by polishing the edges after using a laser or CNC. Will make for a more cleaner glass like look for the panels

[@mxcbuilds6633]

I want to try flame polishing next time for sure, thanks for the suggestions!

[@Signaworks]

It has been great to be following your journey all the way from the first builds and see how far you've come! Excellent work once again! There's always something new and different. This video was in my backlog for way too long, sorry for that. That should not happen because your builds tickle so many of my interests all at once. Again, you got me very intrigued to start building something similar, but the first step seems the hardest lol. One thing that came to my mind was that if you still have the CNC, you could try to make those sidepanels out of the same acrylic as the top slats. I think it could tie the build together even more.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks for the support since the beginning, appreciate it. No apologies needed we are all busy with our lives. Great idea for the side panels using the CNC

[@professorh8398]

[@igorfiuza144]

I think a wider gap on the side panels, or maybe just different shaped gaps could improve the noise levels a bit (the only negative point of the build, to be honest). Nice work!

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thank you! Yeah I suspect the slats are no good for acoustics. Like demonstrated in GN review of fractal terra case.

[@airrow05]

camera quality definitely improved, really like how the acrylic panels go with those brass screws and the fans of the GPU, the dark wooden frame looks amazing. One thing I'd like to suggest, which of course is personal preference and definitely not required since the focus of the video lays on the process of building, is that maybe you could use some out of focus background decoration (e.g. Plants when building with wood) to accomplish the look of the PC. Please do not take this as an offence, this is only supposed to be a suggestion. :>

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Yeah good suggestion, will think about it in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@Nizuya]

I was excited for this video after following along with your Instagram posts. Did not disappoint! Amazing design and execution, as usual. By the way, which 3D printer do you use? And would you recommend it?

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks for following along, and glad it was worth the wait. I actually switched printers half way through this project. Went from a Anet A8 to a prusa mk3. What a difference it makes! The prusa is great just hit print and the results are almost always great. No fine tuning needed. I got it second hand for a good price. But these days there are many great units from the likes of bambu labs that might be better/faster if your budget allows

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks for the support! Yeah not sure what's going on there is it normal for it to have 100C hot spot?

[@AuDiGo6]

@@mxcbuilds6633 not ideal, for Nvidia cards the ideal delta is max 20°C (the difference between the actual temp and the hotspot), even in an extreme stress test like FurMark. On the other hand, it won't harm the GPU. It looks horrible, but the GPU can run without any problems (and FurMark is far from a real world use). AMD cards, for example, have hotspot temperatures of 110°C as "within operating range". I assume it's not a case problem, but not an ideally designed GPU cooler. Udervolting GPU by a bit can help significantly in this instance.
