Exotic Wood Computer Cases

Alien54 writes "Exotic Wood Crafts has turned an aluminum case into a wood veneer case. For those who don't know, a veneer is a very thin layer of wood, in this case, pressed onto the panels of the case, maintaining the strong and stable characteristics of an aluminum case, while giving it a one of a kind wood finish. Lots of pics, some pretty nice looking stuff."

I'm waiting for a cardboard case.

It would be even better if it was a "tab a into slot b" thing that could be easily taken apart and reassembled.

Butt-head: Hey, Beavis, check out my wood. Uhh huh huh huh huh

Beavis: Cool, it's like, ummm, ah ummm, it's like a computer, but with wood around it.

Butt-head: Uhh huh huh huh huh, you said wood, uhh huh huh huh huh

Beavis: Hey Butt-head, how'd they get the computer in the wood.

Butt-head: Shut up, dumbass! They must of like, had the tree grow around it and then cut it out.

Beavis: Ahhh yeah yeah yeah, heh heh heh

I have to wonder

How's the bass? how much sake?

A quandary...

If a wood-case gets slashdotted on the web and nobody sees it, does it make a sound? ;-)

Same here. Wood just makes me think of trailer park fake wooden panelling, cheap porn, and 1960s station wagons.

Re:Bah!!!

Wood? Bah!! Kids these days, I tell ya...

In my day, we made our CPU's out of crystals! Our motherboard was a clay tablet. And we hammered the gold into thin sheets, baked it in a dung-fired oven, and we LIKED it.

Finally!!

pft, i'm waiting for the endangered species line of computer cases... they are much more vogue. The bengal tiger case is to die for!

It deserves it.

Think of all the times you've spent with your computer.

All the hours of internet surfing, emerging and gaming.

All the good times.

All the time looking at pr0n.

All these years your computer has given you the gift of wood.

Won't you do the same for it?

Luxury.

Back when I was a young'en, we didn't have any o' those fancy crystals, ovens or precious metals. We 'ad to make due with a bunch o' stones, manipulating the electrons by hand!

You might remember someone (once upon a time) thinking that wood veneer looked great on cars -- round about the time of National Lampoon.

Your computer case will look "pretty nice" for all of about 5 days before some animal brought in for Dogs in the Office Day will mistake it for a tree and electrocute itself pissing on your computer. ;)

Re:Leather, too

[buckeyeguy]

Heh, time to make a Judas Priest "Hell Bent for Leather" case mod... er, well, maybe, depending on who you LAN-party with ;)

As for wood, next stop: Amish Oak Case Mods

The Special Bonding Method uses a proprietary process.

What? Proprietary process? Why don't they release their process under the GPL? I'm not going to support a company who uses closed-source case compilation techniques! Open source forever!
