I wanted a very small PC to control my 3D printer, and i looked around at my spare parts and came up with this. It'll be a small 3d printed case which will house a pico PSU, AMD APU mobo and an SSD.

The case will have only one button on the front for a clean look... a 22mm vandal switch (it will be blue).



Here is the render of the case, I haven't finished the top cover yet. The top cover will include the SSD mounts along with a fan mount.

 

Once i take the final pics i'll use my DSLR instead of this crap phone cam.

This is how it sits now... picoPSU and vandal switch installed along with all the wiring. Just need to finalize and print the top cover

I don't actually remember what CPU is on that mobo... is some little AMD thing. I've had this board lying around for a while.

How will you tackle airflow/cooling and the power supply?

Can Anybody Link A Virtual Machine while I go download some RAM?

It's a PicoPSU.

 

As for cooling it's not really an issue. all this thing will be doing is controlling the 3d printer. I may add a cooling fan on the top cover.
