This case was made out of the need to have my computer wall mounted. The reason for this is that the only thing my tv stand was being used for was to hold the media center computer. I looked around but could only find metal box style cabinets, nothing that I would deem "wife worthy". I designed this case in Solidworks. The parts are outside my manufacturing specs so I had to have them made at a manufacturer. The case only utilizes two 80mm fans, one intake at the bottom, one exhaust at the top. Since the case is so open on the inside, this amount of airflow is sufficient. My proc temps don't go above 62c while prime95 stressing. Video doesn't go above 70c while gaming. I tried both a tinted black cover and a frosted white cover to see how they would look. Best part is that since the covers are acrylic, I can put all my wireless receivers for the remote, keyboard, and mouse inside the case, and behind the wall, (the rf receivers didn't do so well inside the case, IR ones did just fine though). Best part of it is my wife actually likes it. Without the tv stand, the room really opened up much more than I anticipated. If she is happy, thats all that matters!
