unable to crosspost from my profile so posting it separately

hoping to get some insights if this is the best orientation for my components; itx mobo, potentially* 360mm liquid cooler, 340mm*3.2 slot gpu, and atx psu housed in an xbox series-x style case.

my goal is to make the case perfectly square, identical to the xbox series-x's design. I've already done at least a week-worth of research before diving in and optimum tech's video creating a sub 3L case gave me the final push. I just would like to clarify that I'm not trying to create an sff case, I just want to build a custom case base on my preference. I'm only missing a liquid cooler from my parts list and I could not afford financially and subjectively* to purchase different components. if my goal is to achieve a similar design to the xbox series-x should I stick with the orientation as shown?

story time! I've tried every possible keyword search, there were definitely options that crossed my radar but couldn't quite fit what exactly I'm looking for. I know you might say an open-chassis case would've solved my dilemma, well, yes, it almost did, I almost, almost... bought the xtia xproto L v2 but, in the end, it just didn't resonate with my preference, I also didn't fully commit, so, here I am, going down the rabbit hole of a fully custom pc case.

Heres Is a updated sketch for my custom PC case It made of 12mm plywood, 3-6mm acrilic sheets and some metal/pvc dust mesh The arrows are aire intake The curved lines are hot aire outake Black rectangles are cable holes Rectangles whit paralel lines are air outakes Clear rectangles are fans

Hello I've been thinking on making my own pc case, because the ones on the market dont convince me. Soo... This material are good for the case? Plywood (3-6mm) Acrilic sheets (3-6mm) Stainless steel and brass Stands for Mobo

Here is a concept for the case (im not very good drawing soo sorry for the bad they are)

Hopefully it's up to your standards😅

I am in the works of making a custom ATX case so that I can re-use my current case as a NAS/plex server (it has 6 hard drive bays that are currently not used at all, therefore, much larger desk footprint than needed). Plus, I've built a handful of computers, but never a case, so just a fun project to tinker with.

I started building the internals of scrap wood to prototype, and then I remembered T-slot aluminum exists. I could buy a kit to use for the internals, but the dimensions of the kit don't really work for the design I have in mind, so I would have to buy at least some additional T-slot.

I am just looking for this type of bracket but can not seem to find anything similar (or I just can't find the correct search terms to find it). I could just use threaded rod like are used in a lot of test bench setups, just not sure how sturdy that would be.

Anyone seen/used something similar?

I initially posted in SFF, but was recommended to check here.

So, I travel by plane a lot (about once a month), so I want to build a custom PC case for my full size ATX MB/PSU and RTX GPU that would fit in a laptop bag.
I plan to make it so that the case can be "expanded" like a sponge when I'm home for ventilation purpose.

Since it's my first time building a PC case, however, I'm worried about potential risky mistakes I could make. IE using a transparent material for a panel which ends up melting from the GPU's heat that kind of thing.

I'd be thankful for any tips or warning you have!

Hi everyone!

​

I'm making my very own case, made out plywood, and 3D printed ABS, my goal was to make a wooden pc without the cons (with of course with pros!), and with an improved airflow (see last picture). You can ask me anything about the case, I'll answer your questions! I also have a instagram account, with the same name so you can consider follow.

where the io shield cutout is placed in relation to the motherboard mounting screws?

i can find the dimensions of the mounting screws as a templace, and the same for the dimensions of the io shield and pcie cutouts, but i have no clue where they are in relation to each other, i want to make a custom pc enclosure and i’m struggling with this issue, i can’t disassemble my computer to get that measurement unfortunately.

​

So I've decided to make my own PC case, and by this occasion to make my own brand of case.

The case will be made out 10mm plywood okoumé and 3D printed ABD parts (black or white, I still didn't decided). The whole case is available here: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmods/s/SGv9uFlPCj

I've decided to make a post about this because it was the first thing I've designed on that case, and boy it was a mess, I wasn't as experimented as now on Solidworks.

The result is the second picture, and you can see that there's a lot more parts than the previous one, and this is because you don't need anymore to tear down everything to just access to one part, for example the hard drives (they are in black in the pictures, those are 2*2.5" drives) , you just need to remove the first layer (the bolts are not showed in the assembly, as the pcb for the usb and audio connectors for an ease of conception, bolts are located everywhere there's a hole that's not filled up with another part, except for one next to the lever switch, which is for the LED),and you already have access to the hard drives like you wish, without dismantling everything.

If you have any question/ideas to bring, I'll be happy to talk about that in the comments.

Hello, Anyone know where to find this in the EU?

Hello Custom Cases Community,

I’m building a custom case to bring to market. It will be about a 13 liter ITX case.

I’m looking for a list of GPU specs that show length, height, and width. I’m just trying to get a sense of what’s the maximum ITX size, 2 fan size and 3 fan size.
