Custom pc case questions

I'm looking to make my own pc case as cases that will fit a SSI CEB boards are rare here so I just want to ask if anyone know a place where I can get the dimensions for different parts and slots for the case (Pcie slot cutout, motherboard cutout, rear I/O cutout, hard drive tray, 5.25 inch bay etc..) If there are available CAD models that would be even better.

 

Thanks in advance, if I do get around to making a case, I'll definitely do another post about it to show everyone the result (nothing is completely certain that this point yet though)

I'm also thinking of making my own custom case, and happen to have this if it's any help to you :) :

Edit: I'm not sure where I got it so, take the measurements with a slight grain of salt, but in saying that, they look roughly alright to me

Specs: CPU: AMD FX 6300 Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A DS3P RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB 1866MHz GPU: MSI R9 270 OC edition Case: Sharkoon VS3-S SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB HDD: 1TB Caviar Blue PSU: Corsair CX500W

*If I say something that seems offensive, please don't take it seriously, it was most likely meant as a joke/sarcastically*

Thanks, this will help out a lot, if you happen to find more sketches of other parts, can you please inform me about them? Thanks once again
