A Custom PC Case Idea

[RGProductions]

Alright I have an idea for a pc case that I want to build and hopefully will over the next few months! It is a cylindrical mini itx design and I will put up some "concept art" once I make it.

I haven't decided on power supply placement yet though

That picture doesn't really give much detail.... What is the scale?

You could try and make a 3D model, that will show problems and the good things about the design and we will get a better idea of what it is you want to do.

If the walls are to be cylindrical, are you imagining that the case would kind of look like Luke's Nuke PC mod?

Look at the dune case or "Mac Pro case mod" for ways to fit everything in. You should go with an SFX PSU.

When you break into ITX you really open up so many options for tight space saving parts 

 

This is a scratch build that Bob and I did that might have a layout like what you want.

There is no consistent scale in this picture

I would but I am useless at 3d modeling and this isn't a main priority right now, just in the ideas and planning stage

It has been too long since my last update. I have ditched the mac pro style design and am going for more of an Ncase design
