HSBNE Cleverspace: A Modular Mini ITX PC Case (for laser cutting)

thingiverse

This is a laser cut PC case to fit a mini ITX or mini DTX motherboard. It is designed to be modular, and as such you can swap out different back, side, front, top and base panels to add more fan or storage mounts etc. The DWG, DXF and AI files each contain all parts as different pages/sheets. Main Features: Customizable modular design Designed to be cut from any flat 8mm thick material (Now available for 6mm material too) Supports 2 slot graphics card up to 10" long (254mm) Supports full size ATX power supply up to 180mm long (160mm max with 10" card) Supports up to 6x 2.5" HDD/SSD or 3x 3.5" HDD Supports up to 4x cooling fans Very small form factor (W 224mm, D 272mm, H 167mm). That's the size of a sheet of US letter paper for the imperial people. Some top and side panels are symetrical and thus can be mounted on either side of the case or in either orientation. List of Modular Panels: Base A: Mini ITX mounting base. Front A: Front panel with mounting holes for 2 5mm LEDs, a power button and a reset button (panel mount). Back A: Back panel with an IO cutout, 2 slot expansion card mount and a 92mm fan mount. Back B: Back panel with an IO cutout, no explansion card mount and 2x 92mm fan mounts. Side A: Side panel with mounting holes for ATX PSU and 2x 2.5" drives or 1x 3.5" drive. Asymetrical, right side only. Side B: Side panel with mount points for 2x 92mm fans. Symetrical. Side C: Blank side panel. Side D: Grid vent side panel. Top A: Blank top panel. Top B: Top panel with 120mm fan mount above motherboard. Top C: Top panel with 2x 2.5" drive mounts or 1x 2.5" and 1x 3.5". One 2.5" mount fouls card area. Top D: Top panel with 1x 3.5" drive mount or 2x 2.5" mounts. Does not foul card area.

This case was designed by HSBNE member Blufires. The Brisbane hackerspace has just got its first laser cutter, but its other resources are sorely lacking. The paint is peeling and the roofs are leaking.
