The only thing on the front of the case is the power button, lit by a white LED that glows softly when the machine is on. The sides of the case are covered in aluminum mesh that slots into narrow grooves cut into the wood of the chassis; the top plate comes off to reveal the inside. The top plate doesn’t latch or lock into the rest of the chassis at all, but modfoller did apply two aluminum struts to the underside anyway to keep it from sliding around and help guard against warping.
According to the modder, one of the key goals for the build was to make sure that the system—which packs in a Core i7-11700K and a GeForce RTX 3070—was whisper quiet. This was a challenge, considering that it makes no use of liquid cooling. He says he spent a long time sketching out different solutions for the internal assembly. In the end, the machine is cooled by three 140-mm fans and two 80-mm fans, taking in cool air from one side and exhausting it out the back and the other side.
A truly custom case like this is a lot of work, but the results look absolutely fantastic. Hats off to modfoller for his excellent work on a gorgeous custom PC. We imagine his spouse is pleased, too.
