Hardwood Computer "The Scorpion"
This Computer Case is made out of hard Maple, Mirrors, Acrylic and Lexan. It supports Micro ATX Motherboards. It will hold 3 Internal hard Drives. 2 120mm fans (1 intake and 1 exhaust) 1 External DVD or Blue Ray Drive and 1 External card reader. The theme of this computer case is Scorpions. I made this for a lady who saw the spider case and wanted a Scorpion case. There is a carving of a Scorpion on both sides and the front, the Scorpion on the front appears to be holding the intake fan. There is a carved design over the exhaust fans in the back.. There are mirrors on the top and bottom, inside and out. So if you look directly up or down inside the case the image goes on and on. This is not a metal case wrapped in wood, each piece of the project was custom made for the purpose it serves. The cost of this computer depends on the hardware and software wishlist of the buyer. Here is an example of a $1500.00 custom computer parts list.

My name is Dave and I like to build stuff. I build Custom Wooden computers. ( mostly because my son thought it would be cool ) We have made about 7 unique designs that look awesome. We can also build one to suit, installed with hardware to order.
I get a great sense of satisfaction after creating something from an Idea. Regardless of the size or details of the project, I have fun making it.

Oct 31, 2012Dave did an awesome job of delivering what I described to him via email. He turned my "vision" into a real life walking staff that will be used by the gentleman that retired for many years to come. The receipenty of Dave's creation was amazed!
