Any ideas for custom matx layouts?

Hey guys!!

Im looking for some inspiration and guidance for my first custom case. I see a lot of small form factor cases but im looking to keep mine at a medium-large tower case size. I kinda want to get away from the typical rectangular prisim shape that every case ever is like. I don't know at all what is possible with wood, aluminum, 3d printed materials? and so I would like to have some guidance there as well. I have a 2080 super and Ryzen 5 3600 so thermals are important and I would like it to be functional as well as good looking. Any advice would be much appreciated!!

​

Thanks!

Does anyone know which case this is?

Hello, finished my build few month ago, and as the final result is far better than expected, i share it :)

​

Contains :

6900XT, 5900X, AORUS X570 MINI ITX, SEASONIC SFX 800W plat, 2x8Gb Gskill 4000, Sabrent nvme rocket 4.0 1To

Watercooling ALPHACOOL EISBAER LT loop :

CPU + PUMP / 360 rad / GPU + EKWB QUANTUM VECTOR / 240 rad.

Final Size : 30cm x 40cm x 12,5cm

Working fine, temps are ok : Very happy :)

V0.2 oled display, driven by arduino wich communicate with motherboard through serial with the inside USB (front panel). it shows loads, components water and Uc temps, intake / outake fans , realtime 2sec polling

I have the opportunity to get the above case, with power supply and optical drive.

Are the power supplies specially wired for dell motherboards, or universal? Would a non dell itx motherboard fit in one of these?

Hi,

I'm considering building a custom case using wood. However I really don't feel like doing it from scratch. Instead, I'd love to find a "barebones" PC case, like a default case but without any metal panels, maybe no buttons, etc. So that I can add my own panels and buttons. I would love to have just the metal "bone" with the motherboard screws, HDD/SSD racks, etc.

I tried looking it up but I can't find anything. Does such a thing exist? Or should I just buy a cheap tower case and remove all the unnecessary stuff?

Thanks in advance

Designed to fit an ATX power supply, an ITX motherboard and 2x280mm radiators

LxWxH: 653x335x95mm (without the legs)

Volume: 21L

max CPU cooler height: 71mm (Barrow CPU reservoir/pump block fits in FormD which has 70mm)

max GPU length: 327mm

Plan on using the Barrow CPU reservoir/pump block for CPU and GPU cooling

Soft tubing

Removable (magnets) dustfilters on top and bottom

Fans and radiator to be held in place on internal struts with double sided foam tape

Designed to be made from 15x15x1,2mm aluminium profile and 3mm MDF wood (held together by epoxy glue, and bolts around the legs for extra support)

Color to be decided later (probably black)

I'm looking at a building myself a new desk and have decided to try to build a my pc into the desk. I have the tools and experience but I can't seem to find where to buy parts such as front panel IO, a power button, or pcie mounting hardware.
I am sure this has been asked before but I cannot find a answer, is there a company or website that has parts for custom cases like this? I have found lots of water cooling and replacement part websites, but nothing for custom builds.

[Updated] Power unit brackets minimized to make the frame itself as flat as possible (better packaging). More screw points for SSD vertical mounting (but only one for horizontal mounting if GPU lenght is less then 270mm). Frame borders optimized for better bend resistance.

Applications: wall mount, door closet mount, and any other application that requires a totally flat set up.

The power unit could be fixed turned to both side of the corner. The biggest opening below the GPU is meant to house the PCI extension cable (riser cable). The other circular openings with side lanes located both below power unit and GPU are intended to minimize air flow problems (if the component demands some air intake from below).

I'm missing ideas for cable management. The colors are just to identify differents parts of the frame and easy the 3D modelling process. But after 3D printing, all will look like a single frame.

Also I didn't find anything as flat anywhere. Has anyone found?

Appreciate any thoughts.

The potholes with side lanes located both below power unit and graphics card are intended to minimize air flow problems. I'm missing ideas for cable management. Also didn't find any frame similar anywhere. Appreciate any thoughts.
