Making my own case (log)

[Frickxinator]

Hi there, I am making (right now I am still designing) my own case, I will post pics and taughts here so you guys maybe can catch some ideas if there are interested people
 
I will be making my case out of plexiglass (PMMA) al the cutting will be done with a lasercutter. The pc will be used for on my dorm where I study, so yes it is not at all a good system and yes my GPU is far too good for this system but I put him in there because otherwise I don't use it and I don't want to sell it...
 
You guys will see that the components are kind of randomly chosen, but I got half of them for free from people and I don't want it to be an far too expensive project. 
 
(pics of the designs will follow if there are people out there who are interested)
 
 

 

This is the case with all sides on, the two big holes in the front are for 80mm fans, the small one is for the powerbutton (I will not have front IO, but i have 6 USB ports on my motherboard)

Here, I took off the top and the front panel, on the left is the PSU, I made it so that the hot air coming out of it goes immediatly out the case. On the right is the HDD case, in there fits a 2.5 inch drive (i got that one from my old laptop) there is also a hole in for the cables. 

All the other little, round holes are for ventilation, my motherboard has an on-board CPU with a not so special cooler so I made enough ventilation

The rectangle shaped hole is for my GPU, it is not yet wide enough, but I don't have the exact measurements yet so I don't know where and how big the hole has to be

All plexiglass? How thick are you going to have the sheets?

6 mm, but I designed it in a way that there is almost no chance it won't be strong enough

I look forward to seeing it.

I am reposting this topic in the modding part, I think it is better there...
