Info:

2000+ 1 inch wooden cubes
4 Elmer's glue wood bottles
Right hand is power button
Mouth is dvd tray
Fan controller/Media reader on bottom
7 port usb on shoulder (4top/3bototm)
Weighs ALOT :D
Hat IS removable (for travel)
2 250mm fans.
Finished about 2 weeks ago.

This is my first case mod of any sort and the first time I actually made something. I had to pretty much buy/borrow stuff as I needed it b/c I don't have any tools in my studio apartment :D. I had the idea for this case in January but did not order the wood until late june and began the recording. This is about 50-60 hours of video into 8 minutes. I put alot of unrecorded hours in also. Not positive on total time spent on this case. My goal was to make it look 8 bit from any side you look at it. I've had some remarks that it resembles the wizard from super mario bro's which is understandable with the rod and all. For ventilation I have the fan on back putting air in and the fan on bottom pushes warm air out. PSU also faces down toward the bottom fan. I know heat rises but with fans this big they move alot of air and are quiet. I have a Q6600 inside and temps are at 33c idle on cores. cpu fan is the only loud part of system which im thinking of adjusting.

Note: Not a fan of this song but youtube doesn't have many options for 10 minutes unfortunately.
