Thank you Windfall. I agree but one reason is definitely that it's difficult to manufacture thin panels that keep their dimensional stability. For prototypes, however, I think it's a great material to work with.

Thank you Shatrod. I used high-quality spray paint so the adhesion is pretty good. In areas where metal rubs against the panels (e.g. GPU slots) it's scaping off but only inside the case. Definitely not a solution for serial production but good enough for a prototype.

Hi all, This is the latest case build that I made using my DIY CNC. The focus was on good thermals and noise performance rather than building as small as possible. The case provides some room for cable management behind the SSD bracket and the motherboard. For an SFF build, the interior...

I've just finished a video with some thermal and noise tests of my DIY case in comparison with my previous case, the Fractal Design Node 304.

Many thanks for your nice words, nox. Reading all these comments is very rewarding :) Tjo2012, I really like to work with wood when possible. The great thing about aluminium is that you can machine it with wood tools as long as they're hard metal. Beyond that, it gets difficult with only a...

Thank you all for your inspiring comments and positive feedback. It's taken me roughly 60h of work over a two month period. The composite panels added quite some complexity. For V2 of this case, I'll have to think about streamlining the process that I can build a few and give some away :)

I've got a video with a focus on composite parts manufacturing planned on my channel. It most likely won't have anything to do with computers but I'll be showing the process in greater detail. Stay tuned for that.

Many thanks rfarmer. It's indeed though to come up with new designs for SFF cases and that's why I've tried to at least be innovative with the I/O and the choice of materials.

Hi all, I've built a custom mITX case from scratch with bio-composite panels. The video shows the building process and materials I used. This was my first build and I'd really appreciate your feedback. Thank you, Roman.
