The Obsidian Obelisk - My First Full Scratch Build
Posted by Azrael on October 26, 2023, 10:30 AM

Hey everyone! I'm super excited to finally share my first ever scratch-built PC case. It's been a labor of love for the past 3 months, and I've learned so much. I wanted a unique design that truly showcased the components, so I went with a vertical layout and a lot of tempered glass.

I'm particularly proud of the custom lighting integrated into the frame and the cable management solution. Let me know what you think!

The "Aquarium" - A Fully Submersible Build
Posted by Skyline_Killa on October 20, 2023, 3:15 PM

Here's my ambitious project: a PC case that is fully submersible in a liquid medium (non-conductive, of course!). I wanted to push the boundaries of what a PC case could be.

Aquarium Build

The main challenge was waterproofing and thermal management. Took a lot of trial and error, but I'm thrilled with the result. It's a real conversation starter!

Minimalist Wood & Acrylic Build - "The Haven"
Posted by Rustic_Jake on October 18, 2023, 7:00 PM

I love the look of natural materials, so I decided to build a case using solid walnut and frosted acrylic. The goal was a clean, minimalist aesthetic that feels organic.

Wooden Build

The joinery was a bit tricky, but the warmth of the wood is exactly what I was going for. Hope you enjoy!
