I really like this thread :)

MDF honestly seems like an awful idea - If you don't want to use metal, Acrylic is probably slightly better and just as accessible.

i built custom case from cardboard, and still experimenting which design is more efficient

actually it's just prototype so i can build it using acrylic or something better like glass. but if it works, why not? not like my pc will suddenly spit fire or anything

also my layout in sketchup, it's hard to do precise measuring in it. gotta learn how to cad.

Cases are overrated. Most people stick them in the fucking corner and never look at them again. What are you gonna do, sit and fap to your case? Fgt

to keep my parts together
i'm not into those aesthetic case, i built my case because i need it to be flexible (sometimes i bring my pc to work) and those mini case is too overpiced.

Yeah, i have some wood at home (18mm) and acrylic panels (5mm i think) so i was thinking about using one of them, gonna post some sketches later

Really nice, i was also thinking about using cardboard to see how well airflow would work in custom case, my goal is to have passive pc at idle and quiet at gaming (kind of problem since cpu is 95w and gpu 180w)

>radiator in and out at the bottom
That must have taken a bit to bleed

Making it out of MDF is a terrible idea. It's a dust machine, hyper sensitive to moisture, heavy and insulating.

Make it out of metal or you're a faggot. You can have sheets cut from CAD files.

Where can I get a CAD file for the standard mATX board?

What sort of CAD software should regular fags use if they want to learn to dabble with this shit
