Getting myself a P4AC 4.1 and a GeForce 1060.
But I don't want it to just lay open on the desk so I'm pondering on a way to find a fitting case or create one.
The size should be around 150*150 *40-50 mm (W*H*D), made out of aluminium.
With that I can fit the gpu, a psu and strong enough fans.

Any suggestions?

Why not just use a mini-itx case?

Because they aren't small and barebone enough (sense I have to heavily modify it)

If you want to work in Al sheet, get a propane torch and some Al brazing rods.

Practice a bit, like solider work on wires it's as much finesse as it is formula.

There's no way to join Al plates into a box that's as aesthetically pleasing and also strong. It also can be cheaper than using a bunch of mechanical fasteners.

You could also bend the Al, but, you'll need to continually annul the metal as you bend it, which for Al is a rather thorny process.

Casting is also an option. If you go for this, green sand casting is e-z (and cheep) to get into.

But, backyard Al casting is difficult due to H2 solubility issues-- into it....

Brass and Cu casting, while demanding higher heats is more easy to get a GOOD finish piece for your bother.

Acrylic and glass are also options to consider, unless it need be Aluminum for some reason presently unclear to me.

Opps it's suppose to be 450-500mm (as oppose to 40-50)

Hmm I wonder if I have the tools or the experience to do such a thing, but I will keep it in mind.
Well I wanted aluminium for it's flexibility to work with and it's heat absorbent.
