I recently moved into a new apartment with pretty much all new wooden furniture and I'm looking for something that can cover up my nasty looking computer tower in my bedroom. I can't seem to find a good solution aside from building an enclosure myself but I'd like to have something that goes over a standard ATX tower with an opening on the back and preferably a door on the front. Is there any place that sells something like this? If so that would be great.
 
I've never heard of anything reasonably priced. That kind of stuff is usually boutique-style stuff, and is only offered on a one-off basis for absolutely ridiculous sums of money. You're better off doing it yourself.
 
based on what your looking for you might want to build it yourself; (this will allow cost control as well as ability to select the materials yourself.)
 
plus most of the pre-fab stuff is designed with dimensions in mind, but not with heat in mind. Winners Only makes a bunch of desks with CPU enclosures, and anything higher than a P3 or so will overheat to hell and back in it.
 
Another thought would be to put a laminate overlay on your existing case walls, (depending on shape etc...) It could be a fairly easy/inexpensive way to reach your end result.
