Hey everyone,
I've decided to start designing a new case, this time larger than what I usually do. It supports micro-ATX, mini-ITX and mini-DTX motherboards.
I have the layout already roughly in place, but the case assembly itself needs more time to figure out. But its larger size would accommodate a greater variety of hardware and support for custom watercooling. I've gotten inspiration from cases such as Project mATX by @Jeffinslaw and a few crazy EVGA hadron mods, including one by @Allhopeforhumanity that stuffed a mATX motherboard inside with dual GPUs.
My spec goals:
The case will be made with aluminum or possibly a mixture of steel with an aluminum exterior, depending on what approach I'll take to manufacture the case.
Update: Here is a render of a very rough concept just to rough out the general look of the case, as long as to give a sense of its scale.

My spec goals:
- ~15 liter volume
- Micro-ATX motherboard support (and all smaller ones)
- Graphics card support up to 305mm length
- 120mm or 140mm radiator/AIO cooler support
- Support for an additional 240mm radiator/AIO cooler
