Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Hey Guys,
I've posted this a few times here and received some great feedback. I'll be live streaming while I work on the case today. Would really like some feedback if your interested!

Good point. I should of mentioned that. I bought 50 of these on ebay. They are from some dell OEM machines. They are readily available for multiple sellers. I think I paid $1 each.

I just finished my second prototype of this case about 3 weeks ago. I just recently got all the build pictures together to do a post.
I'm already onto the 3rd prototype that fixes a lot of issues with this case. My goal is to make a truly usable wooden case that can be made fairly easy...
With the case laying flat (not upright) it sags a little, maybe .... 3mm at the center. It holds fine in the vertical position. The Supermicro motherboard has something like 16 anchor points. The weight is spread fairly evenly across the MDF.
My newer version has a lot more support. I'll...
