PC case blueprint

[randy hutajulu]

i plan to change my PC case anytime soon. but, i also want to add some mods on it. but, i need a blueprint for doing that.

is anyone here know where can i get it? maybe some of u can share me a link of PC case blueprint library?

 

thank u so much sir

[VioDuskar]

what mods?

what do you mean blueprint?

 

if you're adding custom mods you're going to need to build your own blueprint.

i need the blueprint so i can draw it on cad and make my mods more accurate.

Hmm I am not sure that there are a load of blueprints for cases. What cases are you trying to look at?

i still dont know yet. maybe corsair 350D.

Most of the mods I've made are solely out of necessity, a hole here or there for cabling or tubing or gerryfixing a solution to hold a reservoir/pump. Not really knowing what you're planning to 'mod' I don't see why you would need blueprints unless you're planning to completely rework a whole case but for 95% of people I imagine they're probably on the fly mods.

Hmm, can only get external size which is 17.30" x 8.30" x 17.70". And like what @js123 said, you could just wing it and do it as you go a long. 

                                                                              H      x   W    x     D

 

Maybe you could look at this and make a rough plan of what you want to do:

[js123]

The thing is the manufacturers aren't going to publish detailed blueprints for their products, it doesn't make commercial sense to do so. I'm not saying don't plan your build but you might have to look around for a case and then wait til you have it to start planning and create your blueprint yourself.

I plan to wrap my next case with aluminum and change the side panel with full acrilic.

I want it looks like in win 904.

That's the idea.

[js123]

So you really just need a bare-bones case which you can then finish to your own design? You're talking about a frame with the motherboard tray, drive cages and PSU holder?

 

Could you maybe look at something second-hand that might not be in the best aesthetic condition but you could just rip the panels off and respray the inside black or something and replace the side panel and mount your aluminium wrap around top/front?

yep.. i also think about that. but, so far, the one of the best layout for matx case is corsair 350D. or Phanteks Enthoo Evolv, but, who want to mod this case anyway hahaha.. it's cool already.

for that purpose, having the blueprint will be so helpful. coz aluminum is a bit too hard to be repaired if it doesn't fit on the case. that will be a pain in the ass.

[js123]

Are you planning to apply the aluminium as a veneer to the existing panels? Or attempt to recreate the wrap-around effect of the InWin 904 and replace the panels?

 

The former would probably mean you could easily use aluminium sheets of much thinner material which would be easy to trim/work. The latter but probably be a custom job to get the aluminium bent into the shape you need or you would need to build a custom form to shape it yourself, I'm not really sure.

[randy hutajulu]

im planning to replace the front panel and wrapping around the case.

i found a workshop that probably can do that custom job on the aluminum, so that won't be a big problem i think.

but they ask me about case blueprints so they can do their job accurately.

You'll just have to measure the case yourself, there are a few 3d models of cases available but they usually don't have the accuracy you'll need.
