For the past several years, a fad has been steadily growing among computer enthusiasts with lots of free time, and really expensive tools; case modding.  Normally, your computer case is just some non-descript plastic box that you shove under your desk, or behind your monitor, anywhere to get it out of the way and out of sight.  Well, we here all know that just because something is boring or ugly, doesn't mean it necessarily has to stay that way (Luna... need I say more?), and it turns out that others know that too and have taken to building very complex and beautiful custom computer cases out of all sorts of materials.  I've seen clear cases, cases with coffee pots built into them, cases that are built to look like movie props etc.

Today's really cool case mod is made out of wood.  It's really a two part case mod, the first part to build an inner metal case with a window to house all the elements, then a hand-made wooden frame and casing to sit the computer in.  The case is 100% custom built and inspired by Japanese architecture.  Unlike many other case mods that go over-the-top in what they try to accomplish, this one looks stylish and very sleek.  The sort of thing you'd expect to see at some artistic design firm.
