Dell Insperion 7000 Series (Clone)

thingiverse

I own a Dell Insperion 7000 Series Notebook, so I thought it would be a good SolidWorks modeling exercise to recreate it in 3D. Eventually i kind of thought that it would make a nice case for a DIY computer using an ARM/MIPS/x86 SBC (Single Board Computer) to power it. This IS a WIP (Work in Progress) and i will continue to modify it and upload the changes as the model is perfected (there are a few bugs in the hinge that i need to work out). The bottom Half is currently one solid piece, which i will hollow out and make room (add screw headers air flow vents etc..etc..) for electronics to put inside of it. Probably the first board that modify this model to accommodate will be the PCduino and te Raspberry Pi 2. Another idea for mainboards would be a 5th Gen i5/i7 from CongaTec (http://www.congatec.com/en/products/com-express-type6/conga-tc97.html). Additionally i'll be designing a keyboard and mouse that can be prototyped and added to this computer case. Until the Hing is Perfect and i'm happy with the rest of the design, i'll only be uploading SolidWorks parts and assembly files. Once i feel it's actually ready to 3d Print, i'll upload STL files (for those of you that don't have SolidWorks) which will be ready to print and accept a specific MainBoard (probably just PcDuino and Raspberry Pi at first). Comment if you would like me to add certain features to the design. How I Designed This SolidWorks 2015
