Have no fear. As much as I love the designs, I never want to use surgical equipment to wire a case ever again...
Those designs are awesome! I'm especially in love with the COM-Express concept Man do I wish manufacturers took the mini-ITX trend to a new level (picoITX perhaps?). I demand more!
All your designs are awesome, but I really liked the ATX Concept 1 and 2. I would be very happy if you could "lend" me one of them (or both, if you don't mind... hehe) I am trying to work on something for myself here in Brazil, and those designs are inspiring me! Thanks a lot!

Amazing designs dude, The "Sidearm" is by far my favourite. Cool name, cool style.... just plain cool
I'll see if I can clean the files up a bit and send them to you. Bear in mind these are mainly just layout/aesthetic exercises with not a lot of thought into construction and most details left to the imagination.
No problem to download the files at all. Thank you so much subtec! PS: I don't have 10 posts minimum to send PMs... yet! Hehe ¬¬ Thanks again!
There is some good stuff here man I really like the case with the handle. Have you given any thought to making one for yourself?
Sure. There's a big skill and resource (space, money) gap for me though between these sketchup doodles and actually bringing them into reality. Honestly, working out component placement, airflow, and aesthetics are more fun to me than trying to figure out how to build it. I tend to get bogged down and a bit frustrated with that; definitely not my forte. I guess that puts me squarely on the 'designer' side of the fence, rather than the gearhead/mech. engineer types that are more the norm around here.
Most mech. engineers I know are of the designer type. Only a handful of us really do anything with our hands.
The point I was making was to delineate between the 'softer' creative aspect of industrial design, and the 'harder' engineering aspect. To illustrate the point, I'll use this quote from wikipedia: My interest, enthusiasm, what I find fun, stimulating - whatever - is in the design, i.e. "industrial design": (quoting WP again) "the aesthetics, ergonomics and usability of products" and "creating design solutions towards problems of form, usability, physical ergonomics, marketing, brand development and sales," rather than the engineering aspect.
