Scratch Build – In Progress Vibe - Custom Atom Case - 040809 - GC Online

Hi @all


inside our Cosmos Dragon Project we build a custom enclosure for the Medusa 5.1 Headset Controll Box. We really liked how it turned out, so we thought why not build a mini itx system in that style?

So we came to the point that we will build a custom Mini Itx Case on Base of an Intel Atom Plattform (2x1,6Ghz), a slot in dvd burner and a small 2,5" HDD.

We already started the project yesterday...so here is what we got so far...

 

Very nice, and I like the size of the case. But the question I have, how will get the fan at the NB-cooler cold air…that means, would you install another fan or something like this in the case, and if yes, where???
I´m very curious of your next update.

 

thx

@ Sonnenschein.....the small fan will get fresh air through some ventilation openings which we will integrate....atm i´m using this board in a very small case without a fan or airflow and it works very fine with temps around 30 °

today we made some progress on the next layers and parts which will be used...beside that we also prepared a custom name tag for a sidepanel...but its not finished yet....

 

I like the way you think. This will look like a big chunk of candy when finished!

 

Lookin' great, just like every case you guys make.

 

i agre this one will be look as big red candy !

 

thx m8´s!!!!!

today we also made a bit of progress.....so here are the new pictures....

@jrs77.....yeah strawberry / vanilla i know on which sort of candy you think!! yummie...

in the last days we made a lot of progress on this little cutie....we integrated a hole for the dvd drive so that the dvd could be ejected ...and we also combined all layers with each other....beside that we also started to build the feets...but here are the new pictures.....
