wooden pc case

[GlebPerchuk]

So I'm planning to build a wooden pc case.I was wondering how wood reacts to different component noises like hard drives,fans,power supply.Does anybody know?

What do you mean by "reacts"?

How it reacts to... noise? It covers its ears and shrieks. 😛

But no, I've done a wooden build, and many modders love working with wood for its relative ease and beauty when finished. The only issue that arises is that it provides little to no EMI shielding... but that's often not important at all, and the effects of metal cases on EMI is vastly overstated.

I mean does it increase the sound of components?Don't laugh at me.

We're teasing you slightly, mate - if something as minor as that makes you sore, then I am sorry, but to be fair, the original question wasn't particularly clear.

As for increasing noise, wood is a softer material from metal, so it actually dampens sound slightly better. If you're worried about it, though, you can buy sound-dampening foam for very cheap.
