Lego PC Case

[Chaos_Potato]

Hey guys, I am building a Lego PC Case and was looking for some help with making sure I didn't forget anything and with some general PC stuff (Airflow). I will have some pictures attached my main worry is whether or not I will have enough airflow as I just want air to come in the bottom and out the top (I am yet to build spots to mount the fans) but I was wondering if you guys think this would be fine also just wanted to show some pictures of the build so far

Thanks this staggered 2 gap Patten goes the whole way around 

Wholes for psu and hard drive cables

 

I left a nice gap for cable management because im sick of it on my normal case 

 

Anyways thanks for looking I  hope you guys like it

how will you mount the mobo and gpu though?

if you even manage to install the mobo and GPU, dont use a heavy ass cooler as it will most likely break the lego lol

Mobo in building a ledge for it to sit on and then when I get higher up I will be either getting a company to 3D print or Machine me some pieces to put the mounting screw through it screw into them and graphics card in leaving a gap in the back and I might do the same thing or drill and thread some blocks myself

You might want to use glue or something else to reinforce the case

Oh yeah lol didn't think about that fully yet cause it's a 240mm AIO cooler might need to be on the bottom instead of the top

Been very rigid so far dont need glue as long as you use a bit of force has very minimal flex corner to corner and will be getting more supports in the bottom when I mount the cooler or fans down there

The company has a lot of tutorials on how to firmly connect their blocks.  There are pros that do this and they have a lot of tricks.  I believe there are water soluble glues for extreme stuff but there’s also a lot of talk about rubber hammers.  There are lots of videos.

Bottom to top air cases were a big thing a few years ago.  Many examples and discussions of various issues.  Or rx video card placement caused a lot of concern.  If you did an AIO CPU and an AIO GPU (next had a special bracket at one point you could make it something of a non issue. One 240mm AIO air in at the bottom, 1 240mm AIO air out at the top.  The top one would probably want to be the GPU for modern hardware.  They produce a lot more BTUs these days.

In this video I am using quite a bit of force (sorry for the noise and it's short cause of the 20mb upload limit)

Just going to go air-cooled gpu (don't want to void my warranty) But I have got some server fans which push a massive volume of air that I can wire up so was thinking then for bottom because being it might cause a bit of muffling (noise reduction) and thinking the AIO on top for CPU and maybe and push and pull config on it to maximise airflow 

Or should I have the 240aio  and a 120mm fan next to it or will that let the airflow more freely out the fan rather than through the cooler (for the top)

I’m not an expert on this type of case.  A lot was written about them though

Update got this far but need more bricks
