Wow, I couldn't tell that the frame was 3D printed until you pointed it out. I was actually considering 3D printing the mounting brackets that attach the components to the panel for the same reasons as you. It's just cheaper and faster to prototype than metal if you don't have the tools...

Love the idea! It's a little rough around the edges, but I like the creativity.

Thanks for reaching out. I'm so pleased with the information and measurements in the tech bulletin that I've already updated the thread with a PCI slot measurement chart based on the info provided by Protocase. And judging by the lack of response so far, it may be the only web published paper...

Oh my, these builds are next-level. :wideyed:

Thanks for your input. Sounds like I need a little work with my google-fu. :ninja: I found that first link before but failed to find any pci measurements for the slot, mostly connection and interface info. Did I miss something? I've actually used some of the protocase resources and never came...

I've been scouring the interwebs for PCIE slot measurements with mixed results. There are a few common graphics that pop-up each time this question is asked on various forums, but they are inconsistent and vary quite a bit. If you've ever searched for this measurement you've probably seen them...

Thanks for pointing that out. I knew it wasn't sorcery! +1

Nice. That's quite a haul! I'm curious though, how is the port secured to the IO panel? I noticed the orange panel has mounting holes for the case, but couldn't make out how you secure the ports to the panel.

Another nice post. I'm assuming the layout is dependent on the USB/MIC/HP connector?

Options galore. +1

Haha, yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes the case will look too simple, like the designer made the easiest design choices, then other times there's an elegance in the simplicity. Eye of the beholder, I suppose.

Well, I did say that I liked those type of minimalist designs from Lian Li, Jonsbo, etc., so not necessarily sharting on all of their stuff. I added Abee because I thought I discovered them from another thread and wanted to throw another brand into the mix for OP. They're all definitely very...

Haha, not trolling at all. I'm in a few different threads and got mixed up as to where I read what. :facepalm: I think that's a pretty sensible template for most consumer products. It would be interesting to discuss some of the finer points in regards to something as specific as computer...

Hmm. I lean more towards a simple design aesthetic, and Lian Li, Caselabs, Jonsbo are great examples as sonsonate pointed out. But most of these minimalism designs tend to look too utilitarian or industrial in my opinion, like a rack mount case, which isn't meant to be mostly visible. I'm...

This is so true. It's like trying to choose between father-time's personal computer of yore and whatever abomination forged by an alienware design vet from the 90's. No gracias.
