Has anyone built their own case?

I've seen some examples before - from really nice work bordering on specialist cabinet making to very basic things, just a wood board with some holding brackets

where the motherboard is older and requires lots of isa / pci slots filling plus fdd, hdd i can see good reason to want to build something comprehensive to accommodate it all

where there might be a micro motherboard with integrated sound & vga and plenty of usb all that's needed for minimal function is cpu cooler, ram and psu plus a SSD. This kind of board could be housed in something very simple and small, everything just screwed onto a simple wood board really, with some simple hinged cover. in either case would need to remember power switch though!

i wouldn't suggest it for a maxxed out modern gaming machine of course

well, another set of possibilities presents itself 😀
