Looking for manufacturing standards of PC parts - Want to design my own case

[Oltskul]

Hi, I want to make concept for custom wooden case.

I do not have spare parts to experiment with and I cannot find much information regarding PC parts manufacturing standards, norm etc.

Please help me out with either some keywords, dictionary, or some resources on dimension, ISO, standars in general.

My google searching was rather unfruitful.And i need to search, from where to where is PC-E slot, what size is IO shield (or is it MoBo specific), and ton of other measurements. So there would be a lot of questions and I do not want to bother you with all of them.

Please help me out with some resources on PC part dimension in general, slots, expansions, screws, holders, standardized dimension of coolers and so on.

As I mentioned before, I do not want to bother you with all of this singular questions. But i would appreciate some info, general resources, standards, norm and so on. But I do not now all required terminology and slang.

I do not consider myself as computer illiterate person, I know how to google, but i do not know how to google for this specific problem.

I know how to build a custom PC. But if I want to design something, it need to be useful and functioning. And not pulled randomly out of my nose and eyeballed. CNC does not work that way.

Thank you very much in advance for any tips and directions!
Best regards Oltskul

io shields are universal or at least the perimeter so you could just use any you have laying around, the expansion slots are same just coordinate them and compared to the io shield and match them up; not hard. Instead of googling it; if you have a case and hardware laying around you should just look at it and use a tape measure to get the dimensions and put into a CNC program of sorts? (auto cad?)

thank you for your reply, but i do not have spare parts, see my second sentence.

See the document already linked above, http://www.formfactors.org/developer\specs\atx2_2.PDF

 

You have the mechanical stuff at pages 12-15 and the following pages go into card heights, lengths , power delivery etc

This would be infinitely easier if you have a motherboard/case laying around already in order to make copied measurements with

wel get yourself an "dumpster" pc a pc someone is throwing away and either use it as an example or use it for parts
