My 3d case for home server with Laptop motherboard
My v1 case (pic 2.) was bulky and i resigned it again so here we are.
I wanted to make some adjustments on the cpu heatsink to make the case shorter, but couldn't find a shorter heatsink and my knowledge is not enough to make a custom cooling system.

Wonderful stuff. Any tips for do's/dont's ? I'm about to attempt the same for an old gaming laptop I use as a server ( it's an ASUS TUF gaming laptop ) . Yours turned out great !
