The White Orkid was designed and built in-house from Red Oak, clear Acrylic, 20 gauge steel and vinyl mesh. The wood is sanded completely smooth before being finished with a natural color Danish oil. It has room for up to four case fans, though two seem plenty, especially with that Jet Flo. This is the Mk4 version of the White Orkid, with numerous upgrades for ease of use. For instance the mesh panels are quickly removed without tools as they are held in place with wood hooks up top and magnetic catches on the bottom. The magnets are shielded with steel that doubles as the HDD mounts. All wires have been tucked behind the motherboard mounting plate for a clutter free appearance.

nice but somebody get this man a cable sleeving kit and a can of high quality super-gloss white paint,
paint the psu and other visible metal parts and sleeve the cables (white??)
also I would rub the wood down with a light oil such as lynseed or flax to bring out the grain
you got some serious talent here doing the above would really take it to the next level

Good idea, or just scrap the windows and put in that white mesh.

I would like a shot from a distance, now it's hard to see what the whole of it looks like.
