OK this may sound silly, but I am thinking about taking an old piece of furniture (a 3x3x2 foot French provincial cabinet) that houses my PC in my living room and using it as my PC case without any other case (right know there is a conventional desktop case in the cabinet. It has regular doors and a pull out shelf for easy access to all the hardware. The inside is huge allowing for plenty of airflow. The whole thing is made out of thick mahogany which should deaden any noise, and I have an old Gateway 32 inch Destination monitor that already doubles as a TV in that room. I figure other than the components that connect directly to the MB, I can spread things out a bit (if I can find components with long enough cables) and maybe even water cool the system. I read the cases article in THG today, and bluntly they all sounded boring. Can anyone think of any reason why this wouldn't work?
