this is a design that i plan on building the case, from scratch, the panels would be made from acrylic. and the black material is plastic

MATX Case

 

what do you think?

the name is WIN X3 because there are 3 WIN(s) in this case,

    inspired by the INWIN case

    alienware style case (WIN!)

    triple rad avalibility (WIN!)

 

tell me, would you be interested if i put up a kickstart to make more of these?

Seems very inefficient in cooling

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

That's what I mean, a bit limited IMO. I would love to see 2 more fan slots on one of the side panels maybe.

should it be meshed? or not?

and because the side panel is removable, and i can't put dust filters there...

I really like it! I would definitely be interested in a kickstarter type project.

The only major concern I have is airflow. I'm not sure how to make it better, but I'd much prefer the exhaust fan be positioned opposite of the intakes, possibly where the PSU is currently, and move the psu closer to the front of the case, possibly with an extension to the back? Also, the optical bay seems like a waste of space that could be used for possibly a third 120mm or to make the intakes 140mm. Otherwise I think its quite a good design.
