hey all i started a new project, but , as you can see, the project is nameless because i didnt decided yet it is the best to the major target is a small case, so i am using MINI ITX mobo. some sketch of the case: Front Top close up on the ring: Side ISO and inside.. Back after some shopping: nickel led holders: and some switch and the third hand device in the last week, i had ordered the materials for the project (like alu profiles, perspex strips, perspex cubes, leds, and special ring that create on a lathe the rings: the big one middle together and the small rings (for the switch on the front panel) The perspex staff: the strip for the sides of the case: and the perspex roll, (i'll make a spacers from this) perspex cubes i had create 2 types of cubes 1. 20X20X20 (visible) 2.16X16X20 (hidden, it's will be inside the Alu profile) the visible cube and the hidden cube the result that i want to get is like this: the Alu profiles: and with the perspex strips and for the end, some leds that be placed in the hidden perspex cubes that's it for today guys..
looks like it could turn out to be a really nice HTPC, one thing, your intial drawings for this state the height to be 80cm.... im really hoping thats a typo and its 80mm, but then i look and all of your other measurements are in cm aswell.... the length for example is 240cm... thats longer than me..??!!?!!??! dragon2309
oh.. that a little mistake in the sketchup6 setting.. sorry for fooling you with wrong units and sizesin the sketchup sketches
I like the design. Nice sketchup work, looks like you've planned it well and everything will fit nicely. I'm following this one
Make sure you know where the fans for the PSU are, what kind of cooling the hard drive will have and what cooler you are putting on the CPU. Just a warning from someone who's done a custom SFF before
I love the design but I'm not too hot on the colour scheme. I kind of like the colour in your sketchup and the yellow is great but I'm not sure about the blue. Oh well I'm sure you'll make it look great.
Thank's for the commets guys.. #bindibadgi : the PSU fan is on the rear panel of the case about the HDD, i dont know yet, maybe it's will be a fan on the top of the case, some kind of HDD coller ( i hope the 80 MM intake fan on the front panel will be enough) in theoretical method, i didnt to be worry about heat in this case the core heat output is just 2.5W (40MM fan - stock, and i bought Zalman sink to make it more quiet . I'll upload some pics of the MB in the next update. #neji : the theme of the case include ALU in natural color, and yellow perspex, please, dont relate to the color on the sketch .
UPDATE 2 hey all Update 2: I made 4 of 8 pexpex cube connector, for the Alu profiles.. some Pic's of the result: and the last one: the perspex with the 10MM led i hope that i'll have a bigger update in few day's.. have a nice day..
Very, very nice design. Why don't you use a PicoPSU 120W? It will save you a LOT of space. Also, you could use a laptop dvd drive, saves some space too.
