Custom Case

[PresidentStory]

I am working on creating a cad file of a case to be made out of sheet metal, and I would like some feed back. Mostly if it meets the atx standards. What I have included is just the mother board tray.

 

 Some notes:

-The small rectangle holes will end up being cable tie downs

-Two 200mm fans in front

-One 120mm in the back

-Oval holes are for cable management gromets

-Mounting screw hole sizes are probably wrong and are going to change when I figure out what hardware I am using

-I will be using 3/8 in spacers on the mother board tray

 

Thank you for any input

There was supposed to be an attached stl file. Anyway it should be attached here.

Personally I would suggest to have the fan layout setup so you can have multiple mounting points for different sizes. As mentioned that back portion is a little funky how are you planning on doing mounting for that. 

 

For screws your want to use 6-32 threaded fasteners, as that's the standard for the standoffs and mounts. Here are details for motherboard mounting points and the ATX spec.
