I think this case would actually smell great while using it.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Hahaha, well it did smell of the varnish the first couple of days but it's gone now.

[@bra1nc417d]

That's interesting, indeed lol.

[@BGMofo]

@@mxcbuilds6633 … ¿Where did you get the custom length cable?

[@mxcbuilds6633]

@@BGMofo I bought the connectors, Wire and sleeving to make them myself.

[@BGMofo]

@@mxcbuilds6633 … I guess there the prudent question should have ¿Where do you buy your supplies to make your own cables?

[@the_stixXx]

I first saw your most recent video and going back to this one you can see how much you've progressed in both construction and presentation. Even if it's not as involved and intricate as your most recent builds, it's still custom and beautiful. Keep progressing bro! 👊

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks for the support and also checking out my old videos!

[@menacegtr]

Beautiful build video and a VERY beautiful case. You fully deserve a round of applause, well done MXC Builds👍👍

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks for your kind words mate. Glad you enjoyed the vid :)

[@morisrosenbaum4153]

agreed

[@TinyMaths]

Really good video production. What I like about this build is the mixing of two worlds, the modern technology, with a retro look. The case kind of looks like some nicely crafted furniture from back in the 1960's or 70's, and then there's all the up to date tech inside it... a really nice combination.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thank you! Appreciate the detailed comment. Glad you like it, consider subbing so you don't miss my next project :D

[@mineaim7066]

Lots of careful planning and obsessing over the details here. Fantastic result.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Haha yes there was! Thanks for watching :)

[@Hateroz]

I often have some things to say about the part selection in this type of videos, but here, everything makes sense. You put a 10400F on a B460 board, use 32Gb of RAM (since it is necessary in todays' heavier games), use a great high capacity NVMe SSD, have a great CPU/GPU combo, etc... everything is well thought out. Congrats on your build, hope it serves you well 😉

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thank you! It sure was a sensible build from the start, buying last gen CPU and Mobo on clearance saved me quite alot. As well as getting the used 1080ti from eBay. The ram is mainly for when I do 3D modelling, some of the more complex models really start eating up my ram.

[@Hateroz]

@@mxcbuilds6633 I'm happy you're pleased with your build. I thought the i5-10400F wouldn't be that powerful for a 1080 Ti but, depending on the use you make of your PC and the resolution you're running it at, it should actually be enough. Since you're 3D modeling on your machine, I don't think this CPU is a bottleneck. Did you thought of buying an i5-11400F at some point?It's quite the bump in performance over this 10th gen part and is around the same price, isn't it ?

[@mxcbuilds6633]

The initial plan was to get a 11400F but prices here in australia meant that there was about a 100AUD difference for the CPU and about and 80AUD different for a B560 MOBO. So I opted to save myself the money and just buy slightly older hardware. I dont really need the extra performance at this point in time anyways.

[@dihydrogenmonoxide9210]

32GBs of memory isn't necessary but it's good for future-proofing. 16 gbs can also play games absolutely fine

[@Erowens98]

@@dihydrogenmonoxide9210 it's useful for CAD. Complex assemblies in fusion 360, or solid works, can use up a good bit of ram. I know this case was designed on Fusion 360 so it's worth mentioning. If you like to play around with CAD (or are a pro engineer) then 32Gb is minimum Imo. You can get away with less, since windows knows how to compress ram when you overload it, but this leads to suboptimal performance.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Haha thanks mate, glad you liked the build!

[@SianaGearz]

I wonder now if i should revisit DIYing a PC case. Now that i use parametric CAD and 3D print, this solves a lot of finicky little issues. I could fold things into a given space. I could give it a top loader optical drive, made from a laptop drive with eject mechanism disabled and tray endstop switch relocated to the lid.

[@duzeruser]

Excellent! With a limited set of tools, it turned out just super. But maybe you should have painted your grill grates?

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thank you! Yeah painting the grills would have made it even cleaner for sure.

[@bulibasha81]

@@mxcbuilds6633 As an extra step, when I am finishing printerd parts, is to sand them to a sandpaper glued down with double-sided tape over a sheet of glass, to get a great straight sanding. Great build!

[@gytis321s2]

As a personal project this is great fun ! As a case, good case design and airflow choice. Only concern would be price hah... Ordering two of those tempered glass panels probably cost more than buy entire brand new PC case. But who cares, most important thing was building process! And it turned out to be great success.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Yeah this was definitely was not a cost saving attempt. The raw materials alone cost more than a meshilicious... It was all about being creative and havig fun along the way! :D

[@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele]

Beautiful case... just 2 things missing: the ground connection of the motherboard stands, and some front usb ports.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

That's a good point regarding the grounding, might have to look into that. As for front I/O I opted to just use a USB hub (3x USB 3, micro SD) that I've attached under my desk. This is to keep the clean look of the case. Thanks for watching!

[@BICIeCOMPUTERconGabriele]

@@mxcbuilds6633 you could connect a copper wire to all stands, underneath the motherboard (strip the insulation only where the cable is connected to the stands!) and then connect it to the power supply body.

[@adrianzaharia8885]

You should hve romoved that paper sticker from the m2 ssd otherwise that thermoconductive pad on the heatsink has no purpose. Paper/adhesive papaer/stikers are a heat barrier and it is keeping the heat in that spot. No biggie but I think you could benefit with a couple of degrees difference.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks for watching. I believe most stickers on these SSDs are some sort of metallic sticker that doesn't insulate much heat. And most people don't remove them as doing so likely voids the warranty. I could be wrong, but as you said the difference is negligible

[@paulchurchill5598]

Great Build. The clear panel and back lighting look really good!

[@vtxrider11]

Great job the tolerances and precision are on point excellent work. Personally would have finished the 3D printed parts so you can't see the print lines but that can always be done later. I also like the design of the feet on the case good job.

[@henry.bowerslol]

Great build! Only two things could have been a little better for next time imo. 1) a little cut could be drilled in the wood over the vertical gpu bracket screw (to not damage the wood when its installed and give a better screw angle) 2) the glue is visible on the metal dots that holds the glass plate in place. I think blacks metal dots and less glue could help this. Another way could be to spray paint a black border on the glass that also covers the wood frame.

[@mxcbuilds6633]

Thanks for watching! Yeah I agree with point 1 where there was access issues with the GPU mounting. I did the best I could with even application of the glue on the magnets. I didn't want to paint the black rim as I wanted to show off the solid wood frame of the case.

Good morning, could you make the project available as a whole, the measurements of all the pieces, even the 3D ones, it was wonderful to have the case in varnished wood, in short it was a work of art, that's why you share the whole project 100%, it would allow and encourage even more people build wooden computer case.
