First Case Render & Design: Advice? (Bad)

Threw together these models and textures.

Are there any things y'all recommend case-design wise?  I'm already going to change the perforation on the side - I just needed to show something so I left it there. I also forgot to add a button in (oops).

Current case volume is 5.65L.

 

The Item besides it is a 12inch ruler for scale.

A PC-Case? I'm sorry - I don't quite understand what exactly you're asking.

Not sure yet. That's what I want help on oddly enough.

Currently, it'll be compatible with dual slot cards up to 280mm, mITX boards, 2 2.5" drives, 65mm air cooler, and SFX/SFX-L PSU.

Nope. Autodesk Inventor.

I like sketchup, but my school all branches of Autodesk for free - so I roll with it.

I'm used to seeing renders with Maya and blender so when I see images that aren't lit to realism or surreal good graphics I just think it's sketchup. I tried sketchup once and it just looked exactly like that to me.

Yeah. Inventor is much easier than blender, but it's limited to modeling only.

I've dabbled a bit in blender, but haven't gotten too far.

The best parts are the extensive use of keyboard shortcuts, customization, and then that it's free open source.

 

When it comes to precision IMO it sucks and is super tedious.

*unrelated* Inventor does have rendering options, so you can make them look more photo realistic, but not worth for this use case

 

Any internal shots? do the panel come apart to show assembly?

Nah. I literally threw something together last night.

I have the motherboard sheet(?) modeled, but it's missing quite a few screw holes.
