Case Fabrication

This is my third attempt to build a case to house two full PCs and
all the other stuff that goes with that. The idea this time was to
make a case that looks like a piece of furniture and blends in well
with our other furniture. Access is via a door on each side, one to
the PSUs and hard drives, the other to the motherboards, mobile
racks and optical drives. It really is a pleasure to work on as the
doors are held closed with magnetic catches and can be popped
open anytime to swap a hard drive or swap parts out. In normal
use the whole thing is controlled from my desk via a breakout box
that has a drive for each PC plus power and reset switches. The
main cooling solution is by having most of the bottom of the case
open and covered by a mesh grille with filter material, air is drawn
in from underneath and expelled via the vent at the top.
Inside are dual core and quad core CPUs from Intel.
Motherboards from Asus and Gigabyte.
RAM by OCZ and Corsair.
Graphics accel by ATI.
Hard drives by Western Digital.
PSUs by Antec.

A few words about the Venimus, Vidimus, Vicimus rig.
This rig was based off the theme (sort of an industrial theme) of the Call of Duty and Unreal Tournament online gaming clan that I am co-leader of, the .:vVv:. Clan. February 18th will be our 5 year anniversary,having said this folks should know being an online gaming clan and lasting 5 years is an achievement in itself, as gaming clans come and go like the wind.

We have several great members in our clan who have contributed a lot to the clan; time by playing and representing .:vVv:. in a positive way, providing servers and many other ways. We are a mostly adult clan so I suppose that has a lot to do with it.

I was approached last year by a member to take the logo I
designed and redesign it slightly so they could use it in a project they had in mind. Well I did of course as I like to mess with graphics. Well as it turns out the member had Steins with our clan logo made up and not only did he pay for these himself, but he took it upon himself to ship them to each clan member at no charge. At the time we had 83 on our roster and it included Europe and South Africa, not just the USA. So, I hesitate to even try to estimate the expense this member went to bring a bit of Christmas cheer and Clan Pride to each member he could. This member was .:vVv:. DarkWolf.

This is the reason behind the custom rig you see here today.

I hope you enjoy it!
