Final result

The final result without components in it weighs about 6.6Kg (14.5 pounds). There's no reason to buy cases :) The final price was 22.4 euros, I Doubt there are many cases cheaper than this one in the market. The varnish cans were practically new... They're good for some 30 more cases like this one ... lol 

No, this doesn't heat up more than an metal case, the truth is that the temperature of the processor in idle decreased about 15 degrees, maintaining everything as it was. This difference maybe is due to the extra space that allows the air circulate. Besides I only have a grid at the top and at the bottom of the case, so that allows the circulation of the air, but seems like a good idea to install a copule more fans (though the noise is already excessive). 

Any one can build one of these, considering that this was my first wood construction...

Thanks to my father for the knowledge / practice and for the help in the work, to my mother for the croshet yarns and for some aesthetic notions, to the local carpenter and their assistants for the available time and wood.
