Thanks, and no I haven't published the files since its specifically made for this one of build
-
Long time no update But its finally time to finish this project. Moterboard tray fresh of the printer. I used inserts for the screws that will be holding the motherboard in place. And here is the backplate in place. Radiator brackets and every thing put together inside the case.

Long time since last update, will try and make up for it with a longer one then usual First of I finished all the wood working and added the corner pieces that will be holding the front and back pieces in place. Not a single screw will be used for the wood frame itself its all held together with wood joints so it was really solid even before applying glue. Here is plexi for the side windows. This is what it looked like when it was all clamped in for the glue to dry. I really like how the bends turned out with the different layers. Front and back are made of some spare material I found, actually have no idea what its called. But Its made up of some kind of plastic in the middle and very thin aluminum on both sides, that made if very easy to machine with wood tools. Made a wooden jig to help with cutting the holes for the front intake fans, and it worked really well. And thanks Mnpctech for the awesome template

Time to put every thing together for a test fit
-
Its not really based one any previous cases but Ive always loved the Bitfenix prodigy
-
Making the frame. Used the same big router for these parts.
-
More work on the handles. I made grooves in the handles using the big router in previous picture. Now just cut both of those in half and I will have my four handels. And a few pictures without tape.

Thanks

So this is how I will be bending and making the top and bottom "handles" I need something to bend the thin sheets around so that was part 1 of the process and that was easily done with some MDF scrap pieces. Here is the template rounded and covered in tape to avoid the glue from sticking. Here is the material I will be using. I also made a outer part for the template by bending 5mm plywood, that will also help equalize the pressure along the curve. And now ever thing is ready to be glued together and clamped down, the grain of each sheet is going against each other to get a stronger final product. You can also see the template was made with "shelves" to make clamping easier. Here is a better picture of the layers. And I also made a second one the next day.

I will actually be using 4mm aluminum that is probable going to be painted white
-
Glad you like it! Its basically every thing I want in a build and in my favorite material aswell just to top things off

Hello, Its time again for a new build and this time I am going to use my favorite material, wood! After lots of planning I decided it was going to be another ITX build that would still fit at least one 240mm radiator and long graphics cards if thats what I choose to go with. The plan is to use closed watercooling loops for both CPU and GPU to make future upgrades easier. Ive seen quite a few wood builds over the years but nothing that really felt like me so this will be my version, should also be quite obvious what case I was inspired by Huge thanks to bequiet! and Asrock for helping out with the hardware for this build! And here are a few 3D renders

Final pictures Big thanks to Alphacool, Teamgroup and be quiet! for helping out with hardware! Imgur album of all the pictures can be found HERE Make sure to follow me to get notified about future projects! Instagram- jokot.tech facebook- JokotTech

Final assembly This will be the last update before final pictures so enjoy First time bending plexi, turned out better then i would have thought. After a lot of debating i decided to go with stock cables because sleeving them would have made them to thick and the all black cables fit the aesthetic really well anyways. Sleeved tubes <3 Modded eisbaer ready to be installed.

Thanks

Its getting there! So for time for an update, currently just have some sleeving and finale Assembly left so should be coming together soonish. I wanted some lighting effects but still didn't want any thing to flashy so i decided to integrating the leds there into the plexi tubes under neat the motherboard which i think turned out really nicely. I also made made the supports for rear 80mm fan, psu and some case feet. Some test fitting before painting. Ready for some paint. Some days later i masked of the painted parts and made the rest glossy white And ofc some pictures after it was all painted
-
More 3D printing and plastic parts I made a small bracket for the start button which in this case will be a real key. Next upp is the part that connects the plexi tubes to the frame. You might ask why i didn't just go with metal tubes and the reason for that is LED's but more on that later. I still had to make some kind of motherboard mount so thats what i did. And with motherboard in place. There is also some other stuff i am working on like gpu braket, a good way to mount the rear fans and a psu mount. But yeah its mostly small stuff left on the fram.
-
More work on the front. I applied a light coat of primer to make it easier to see imperfections. Still need to glue the bottom piece together.
-
More metal work. Making the support for the front radiator. I made a bracket from wood to make the welding a bit easier. Ready to start welding. This is what it looked like with no clean up and still 2 pieces left to go. Now lets clean it up a bit.
-
Yeah i know i just used that picture to show how what I was going for with the radiator, I actually have a E30 myself
-
Yeah i ended up making it a bit wider to fit a 140mm radiator in the front
-
Starting on the metalwork. I will be using some 16/14mm metal pipes for the frame. Test fitting.
-
First update to start things off. One of the first obstacles i encountered was the corner pieces. I had a few options but after some thinking i decided to make some custom 3D-printed parts for the job. These are the 2 versions I made but I ended up going for the simpler design. First print turned out great! Removing the support material.
-
No i haven't planned to use a fan grill, I really don't think i will have a problem because it will be on a shelve behind my monitors anyway. The reason i wanted to have the fan on the backside of the rad is because of the look I am going for
