In the beginning.......
'This is the tale of two cities...' Errr, wrong story.
"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale...." Ops, lets try this again.
"We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is futile." Ahhh, that's better.

What's with the wood you ask? Well, the "Wood" is for the custom case.
Excuse me, why are you laughing so hard? Like you've never heard of a wooden case before.....
It is true. The case is a vertical open frame design, ah la the awesome Level Ten by Thermaltake. The case will also sport a Borg theme. For now the theme will just be a "Cut and Paste" appliqué of a Borg "Tactical Cube".
Appliqué Layout
When the funds are available, I will resurrect my plastic and R/C modeling skilz and build out the theme in 3D. Future add-ons will include a Bulgin MPI002 Switch, (2) Silverstone FN122 120mm Fan, Acrylic cover and lots of L.E.D.s.
That's all for today.
Edit: I love this quote:
"Brave words. I've heard them before, from thousands of species across thousands of worlds, since long before you were created. But, now they are all Borg."
