Not Your Typical Media Box
This was a total case build from the ground up. I used a 1/4" aluminium plate for the base and 1/8" aluminium for the rest of the case construction. I used select pieces of red oak matching grain and color. I cut two,
3 slot 5.25" in the front of the case. I scrolled two, 120mm fan ports on the sides and set the right one to blow in and the left one to blow out. I routed a slot around the top edge so I could set the glass flush with the top. The glass I set into the case is bronze smoked.

This system was entered into Intels media system contest and took 2nd place. I've been told it didn't get first because I left the sticker on the front that says devil inside. It gets regular use and has been rock solid from the day it was built.
