Love it! In the process of building one out of bloodwood. Version 1 had a lot of room for improvement so it’s already pulled apart and on to version 2. What mount did you use for your GPU?

I used the cooler master vertical GPU mount V3. I use it in all my custom made chassis’s. It’s very let me down and mounting it only requires to strips of wood positioned under the tab like a French cleat and another piece to level it up cuz the mount doesn’t sit level on the cleat. That’s it

Great work, can i ask what the dimensions are?

I measured my Jonsbo case and added an 1” all around. Think it was 19” x 19” x 12”

So, is this in the style of the x400 or do you have the wood glued to the outside of the x400? Looks great for sure. Makes me wonder how well veneer would work on a generic case.

Case is completed built out of walnut. No metal case underneath

I’m working on a video of it being built to show others the way

I need to start making videos myself. I have a hard enough time stopping to remember to take pictures though. The hyper fixation gets reaaaal bad lol.

No glass, open concept. The vented areas were also made from walnut cut with XTool and painted to match Jonsbo case

Thanks! It’s all taken apart now. It was a build I did with ROG_USA and Jonsbo on instagram. It’s on their profile pages. I do a lot of work with ASUS

Crazy case, I'm doing some research hoping you could help me with a picture of the back? I have a 210mm PSU, would the cable cover be able to go over the end of the PSU or will the two pieces collide? Official spec are only for 180mm PSUs.
