hey, that's pretty neat - at least when it crashes, you could just burn it!!

I guess the only "bugs" you have to worry about are termites.

That's gorgeous, but one has to wonder if it's just for looks. The metal cabinet on a computer helps sink away the heat from critical components. Sure looks like they would have cooling issues with that design.

According to the description, cooling was indeed a concern - but after a full-day stress-test, the PC held up with no problem. If you look at the size of the case, it is immediately apparent that this is no 'monster rig'. It likely has a microATX or smaller motherboard, possibly fully integrated, and likely powered by a Pentium M or Athlon Modile CPU. You sure won't find a Toledo FX-60 or Radeon X1900XTX in there.

I am sure that under the wooden skin, the case frame is still metal. Cause without it, the PC might have serious grounding issues, and static electricity poses a more immediate threat than heat.

That is very nice detailed work.

One thing to know for those who can't read Russian: This is no hobbyist work. It has been a special order for the Moscow furniture museum workshop that specializes in antique furniture repair and restoration. These guys are pros. And while they don't say exactly how much the customer paid, they say 'a lot'.
