hehe pretty cool, sadly the RGB shot looks the most "into the eye" when the lights are off ofc, but the you don't see the wooden case.

Of course, good job

Really cool look, the kind of DYI that deserves praises.

Only issue in IMHO, if it runs hot, with all this wood, it will be on Fire ! (pun intended)

The rear exhaust fans pulling air away from the GPU air intake
Front fans pushing hot air into the case and blocking ability to check if radiator is blocked.
air flow is messed up.
Be ok if you flipped rear fans as air intake and front fans as exhaust be perfect then.
Have air direct from outside case directly on the gpu and instead of bringing in hot air from the front radiator you be extracting it.

Really? Way to be a rude dick.

You're always free to submit your rig if you don't agree with ROTM. Also considering the case is open air, the air flow isn't direct one direct to another.

On topic, this is really cool. I'm really digging the mirror finish inside the build!

Not my cup of tea, but I definitely appreciate the amount of time, effort, and personalization that went into this. Much more interesting than the entries that are basically nothing but high-end parts in a 2-tone color scheme with hard-tubed liquid cooling.

Neat! I would imagine something like this could go nicely with EK's wooden watercooling parts as well, although I'm not sure if they make them with the same type of wood you used as well.

having two fans pulling against each other is daft.

Which 2 fans? From what I can see, each of the case fans are all sucking air from the front and pushing out the back. The GPU is pulling air away from the exhaust fans but there's not a whole lot he can do about it, and like stated before, it's an open-air design so it's not like the GPU is sucking up hot air blown from the radiators. Sure, maybe he could flip the radiator fans to face the other direction, but that could ruin the aesthetic for a minimal gain.

im not being a cool kid im just being subjective giving my opinion.
Isnt that what comments are for ?

You're allowed to dislike something, but all you're doing is giving a list of criticisms, and not in a tactful way.

Lets just praise bad layout and give bad advice then shall we.
amazing case layout amazing air flow design.
great using wood its an amazing heat conductor

The layout is nowhere near as bad as you make it out to be. I'm willing to bet you that the wood in this case causes less than 1C difference in temperature.

There's a huge difference between commenting and be flat out rude about it. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. Didn't your parents teach you that as a kid?

It's open air, there is no one direction for air flow. It comes and goes from the side and top as well.

I think your idea that the air flow would work better the other way around, I think that's correct. It was probably just the way you said it that got attention. Cool case design though, wood & mirrors, why not, plus it's been done well!

I like his name, "PyroFlection"...would be interested in what motivated Mikkel's choice of exterior woods...& the idea with the mirror-reflect effect is inspired--very nice touch! It's such a simple effect--yet it's not the type of thing that would occur to me normally. As usual, half the fun is building the system--the other half is using it! Very nice...

Back in 2016 I made a case with a wooden skeleton and mirror reflecttion acrylic around it "The Reflector" for my borther, which inspired me to do some what the same again, for the "PyroFlection" the wood i used this time is recycle plywood

Cant understand the point of exhaust fans in an open air case.
