hi!
am planning on making a custom case out of wood for my new computer...
any suggestion on what I should be keeping in mind to prevent over heating...
thanks
 
Measure thrice, cut once! (thats 3 times)

Use decent tools & practice cuts on scrap wood so your familiar.

If your going to do angled cuts, Measure a few extra times.
And if you google search, you'll find tons of woodworking sites & forums that have guides for all kinds of things.

-I'm making my 2nd wood case. & its coming out better than the 1st, but this time I am taking more time.
 
hey.. thanks a lot.. i'm gonna need all the luck... and more suggestions..
so should there be any, just post it for me please...
thanks again
 
make sure the intake/exhaust fans are somewhat in line so the air goes right through. instead of having one high and one low and basically just letting the air run around until its finally exhausted. also think about what flow your cpu cooler will have and also your gpu cooler. to make the flow smooth you might want to place a fan where some of the 5.25 bays maybe be, so you will have to find an alternative position for them. so put some thought in exactly what hardware you will be using as well. i bet if you post some designs you are thinking of you will get a lot more suggestions.
