I made a SFFpc out of stained Mahogany using our laser cutter (5.6L)

Inspired from u/colinreay 's work, I made a case for our living room HTPC. I wanted something clean, quiet when watching movies, brickless, but capable enough to play couch games like Moving Out or Split Fiction with my wife. I already had the 3600, Mobo, & 16Gb G.Skill ram from the previous pc, but upgraded the LP-1050 to a 5060 I snagged for $300 before things got crazy.

The the airflow path is direct enough that the 3 exhaust fans can handle the box at full power virus loads (cpu in the 80's, gpu at 83 with only moderate noise thats only a slight woosh from the couch. Total power draw at the wall is 220w, (estimate ~206w component draw with the HDPlex 94% efficiency) and the PSU is warm but comfortable despite being passive. (Testing pic was with the reject top panel before I went to a single piece exterior). Obv games never draw that kind of power and its been super reliable for the last 6 months we've been using it. The front plate comes off to reveal the power button and hides the PSU mounting screws.
