Building your own case.

Project Deskcomp may be worth a look.

Also recall seeing another wooden desk project , the builder lined the insides with foil which apparently helped lower the temps.

adbp1 desk isn't that quiet, we're discussing building a passive radiator array to fill the right hand box and work on convection through the desk.

Still brainstorming for ideas. Got a place with loads of equipment to use this summer.

The picture is rubbish, but I was thinking a couple inch walls?

I'd still think a case built out of MDF might be of some relevance to someone thinking of building a case out of MDF.

Would a few inches really amount to that much in weight?

an 8x4 sheet or 18mm MDF weighs about 45Kg

So yes, it would add a lot of weight! an 8X4 sheet is only 3M² case sides+top+bottom+back would quickly eat into that area. You'd need more than a sheet to do it probably.
