Remember kids, the only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down. Lastley you can use stand offs but i would suggest the mobo tray. As for heat and mdf, if shouldn't b a a problem with a well ventilated case. Wood is a great material but if your worried about grounding just get a stand alone mobo tray. Heres a couple of pictures of a mock up I drew, everything is to scale.Įdit: I will also be using some AcousticPack 3 layer sound dampening foam on the top panel( )

Q: Can I mount the standoffs to the mdf itself or do i need to sacrifice a old pc case and use the motherboard plate from that? (Reason I am asking is because some people say you need a metal mobo plate for grounding) Q: Will the mdf warp due to the heat produced by my components? On the forum under case modding sub forum it says working with wood is perfectly safe to build a pc out of wood, but I have a couple of questions. So I am planning on building a pc case out of 9mm MDF, I have searched the internet and it has been done before but I still have a couple of questions about building with wood.
