    nice job on that thing!! I think the thought was in using metal for cases was to send any RF interference to ground, but I've seen all plastic cases and the like, so wood should be just fine, and nothing beats the look of wood.

    Re: Home Theater PC Build

    That fact that graphics cards can reach high temperatures if not properly cooled and are surrounded by wood...just saying

    Thanks! It has a 140mm fan in the back, and two vents up front where the speakers should go. I could add two more 80mm fans in those vents if need be. I am not OC'ing or anything, so I am not too worried. The entire bottom of that case is lined with metal for the mobo to go on. I got it from Newegg.com, so it was designed well enough, and has great reviews. It is more difficult to work with than a standard case though.
