Assembling and waiting on parts in the mail Hello, and welcome.
I'll be logging my entire process of building a computer case if anyone in the community is interested in how I made / making mine. I'm using 15x15 T Slot aluminum for my frame, Sheet steel for my side panel's and Acrylic for my interior panels, (possibly) tempered glass for my side window.
The case is designed to have a basement and attic. The intake is on the bottom and the exhaust is on the top.
I should have around 4,800 watts of cooling capacity
3 liters of coolant
2 reservoirs
2 pumps
30 fans
(4) 64mm thick rads (3-480&1-360)
Case dimensions are going to be about 630mmX230mmX1000mm Size is subject to change as I assemble the system. Original paint sketch Quick model of basement/attic panels made with my phone More designs in MS paint. More advanced design of the Acrylic basement/ attic panels. Finalized design (prototype) Assembling the frame- 2 liter for size comparison. Adding secondary supports for lower 480mm rad Designing motherboard frame supports and working on designing the acrylic motherboard mounting tray.
Tubing mocked up with soft tubing for proof of concept.
