A special thanks to the following people for their inspiration and help in my endeavor bit-tech https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxtYMx16kD7jK0RKSxsVrw Designs By IFR https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV11AccJeiMX4ZyHErV2oPw Munkey Mods http://smartcomputerstore-com.3dcartstores.com/Munky-Mods_bymfg_19-0-1.html Current status Assembling and waiting on parts in the mail Hello, and welcome. I'll be logging my entire process of building a computer case if anyone in the community is interested in how I made / making mine. This is a copy log from my original post on the LTT Forums. I'm using 15x15 T Slot aluminum for my frame, Sheet steel for my side panel's and Acrylic for my interior panels, (possibly) tempered glass for my side window. The case is designed to have a basement and attic. The intake is on the bottom and the exhaust is on the top. I should have around 4,800 watts of cooling capacity 3 liters of coolant 2 reservoirs 2 pumps 30 fans (4) 64mm thick rads (3-480&1-360)-This has now changed to 4 - 480mm rads Case dimensions are going to be about 630mmX230mmX1000mm Size is subject to change as I assemble the system. Original paint sketch Quick model of basement/attic panels made with my phone More designs in MS paint. More advanced design of the Acrylic basement/ attic panels. Finalized design (prototype) Assembling the frame- 2 liter for size comparison. Adding secondary supports for lower 480mm rad Designing motherboard frame supports and working on designing the acrylic motherboard mounting tray. Tubing mocked up with soft tubing for proof of concept.
I'm not familiar with the Zoo, I did originally start this thread on the LTT forums but I moved it over to here as Bit-Tech seems to have more people who are interested in case building/modding. I temporary set up my two loops and got some pictures in. I'm currently finalizing my motherboard/ interior case backplate design.
The motherboard tray is done. I'm working on the left and right acrylic panels. I should have all three of them finished and cut next week.
