Hello all, This PC case is a personal project that's designed to be a replacement for my 900D, while being visually very different and designed for my components.
(The back of the motherboard is another front due to a rendering flaw)
The case was designed mostly around the materials I have left over from other projects, all being aluminium right angle lengths, 3mm and 5mm aluminium plate.
Dimensions: 440mm x 440mm x 180mm (160mm excluding corner braces)

Lets start...
Drilling 4.2mm holes to tap M5 threads
Spare 5mm plate of aluminium before clean-up
Frame braces being filed to shape
Measurements marked ready for drilling
4.2mm Pilot hole

Happy that my measurements aligned right
Orange is my favourite colour, and I got the same colour mixed up as my car.
