Wood. It's not a material that seems to pop into one's mind when thinking of modding a computer case all that often. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule (and a few of them have been shared with us here), but for the most part, wood gets a bad rap, for many reasons: possible condensation if not properly cured, it can tend to hold heat, and there's always a possibility (albeit a small one) that a computer case made of wood could burst into flames.
D.Heiße shows us that wood, for all its' imperfections, is indeed a viable modding material with his mod BS-Baumstamm.
I prefer to think of this mod as a study in nature, as the computer case itself is made from a tree stump. By cleverly hollowing out the inside and leaving what looks to be a two to three inch wall all the way around, D.Heiße shows us that wood, especially wood left in nature's original state, can be a viable computer case. D.Heiße also tempted fate with this build as there was a bit of a mishap (that D.Heiße managed to catch on film) involving a fan controller that went bad. D.Heiße even managed to water cool the computer! The worklog can be viewed here (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17892).
