Anyone ever done this?Building your own case would be extremely difficult to do, especially when trying to mount everything and ensure everything is held together well. if you put the PC together properly shorting will not be an issue in a metal case - Every PC manages it fine. You would be much better off buying a premade case and then modding it to your preferences - Building it from scratch will be extremely difficult and I can't imagine the results will look that GOOD or be very strong.

Has anyone here built tier own case?

I already have 4x8 sheets of acrylic so I just need wood and a way to ground.
