My homemade WoodPC named "Karl", build as I was 13years old in 2015

This PC was build by me here in germany in my tiny Workshop. It was designed with sketchUP and than build entirely in Winter 2015 on just four Squaremeters. All Parts of the Case are made from Wood and it even has a quite good cable management area inside. Two Centimeters of Wooddust where just everywhere on the ground as build was completed. It was in first attempt just the idea to build a more nicer looking "desktop PC" as i was not planing on gaming anything on it. Except NES Emulator EmojiSo i took simple PC parts in the area of around 500€ (without a Graphics Card, "man that was expensiv compared to these days"...

I5 6400
MSI B250 Motar
2x 4Gb of Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2133
WD Blue 1Tb Hard Drive
Samsung 840 Pro 128Gb SSD
LC Power Super Silent 350W Power supply
4x Arctic F9 PWM PST Fans
1x Arctic F9 PWM PST Fan
LG Bulk DVD Burner
"Wood case"
DeLOOK USB/Audio front Hub
And the Stock Intel CPU cooler

But later in 2015 i got my first game Dirt Rally... And soon Intels Graphic POWER was not enough anymore and a used GTX 770 for 80€was picked up. But the Pc was so designed that only Low Profile cards could fit in horizontally. As a work around, i bought first a flexible and than as it broke a perfect fitting static PCI extension braked to connect the Graphicscard verticaly. With that it even looked nicer than before as i could saw the full beauty of my old Founders Edition Card... And lastly in 2018 i replaced my old GTX 770 with an AMD RX580 8Gb from Gigabyte as seen in the pictures... It dos it's work to this day nicely sitting on my desk, quiet, Cool and dust free high up from the ground...
