Unless you're Steve Wozniak in 1977, wood and computers never go well together. Better to buy some opaque acrylic sheets for it instead. It's about as easy to cut and glue (chemically weld actually) together and looks much better. 3D printing is also an option.

Wood is a simple and pleasant material to work with.

Back in the day I built a prototype of the vending machine with the wooden chassis to hold the electronic hardware. Later, the design was industrialized and mass produced in the quantity of hundreds. The industrial units came without the wooden parts, of course.

Mind you, no problems whatsoever. Wood did a great job!
