I thought about it! maybe that's better, I'm still hesitant. The reason I ended up with this approach instead, is because I didn't want to add a lot of extra height to the case, since this size is great for throwing it in a backpack when I'm traveling. Also I like having easy access to the...

Yes, you're right, that part ended up being way too thin! it's funny how thick something can look in Illustrator while you are about 50x zoomed in... haha but luckily when the side panel is in place, that's not a problem since it adds an additional 5mm of thickness. In a future revision though...

Thanks! haha yes, to be honest the GPU bracket implementation was mostly dumb luck, because the modding cube just so happened to fit perfectly, tightly securing the GPU in place. This is something that I plan to polish next though!

OK, I've finally completed the build, I have pictures to share :-) WARNING: I'm not a good photographer, and I even made the mistake of leaving the timestamps in the photos *facepalms*... so please excuse the underwhelming photography! Here's an album with these images plus a...

Thanks!!! I'm a huge fan of your work, so this means a lot :-) I love the S4, but your acrylic cases in particular were a huge inspiration and motivation do try and do my own.

I live in Argentina, so maybe labor and materials are a bit cheaper over here! I got them from a local place, and the process was pretty simple. Basically I asked them if they could build what I had in mind, they replied saying that they could print literally anything as long as it was a 2d...

Some more pics: Motherboard standoffs in place! Plus the 2 nuts for the PCI-E riser cable in the other side. Building the case with these parvum cubes is so easy! I wish I'd used these for my previous project too... PCI-E riser cable installed! The one I had wasn't working for some...

Here are some build pictures: The first step was installing the M3 nuts in place. Maybe this is common knowledge, but in case anyone's interested, to do this: you line up the nut in place with the hole, insert a screw in the nut and touch the screw with a soldering iron, pressing it slightly...

Nice case! Love the idea of an almost mirror finish which can then be illuminated from the inside! I would love to see a 2016 version of that case.

The acrylic sheets are finally here! The black sheets are translucent, which may or may not have been a good idea! hopefully it'll turn up nicely once it's fully assembled. The violet sheets are "diffusing violet", which I really like for this use case since it's not quite translucent...

These are the Parvum Modding Cubes! http://www.parvumsystems.com/product/modding-cube

Hey, For the front IO, I have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PV9EKGA/?tag=theminutiae-20, which I was planning to use, but then I ended up deciding against it, since the motherboard IO could almost be considered as a front IO, given it's so accesible. For the power switch...

Hey everyone, After having implemented my first custom case, the EVE-01, I'm now ready for my next project, the EVE-02! The motivation behind this, is to continue polishing the idea of my original design, for a vertical SFF case, this time taking the opportunity of using a PCI-E riser cable to...

Thanks! glad you liked that :-) I know nothing about 3D modeling either, as evidenced by my first posts :P but I'll tell you this: it's pretty easy to "get by" only a couple of hours after starting to play with Sketch, and then the truly accurate designs need to be done in Illustrator for the...

Haha yeah, exactly! it took me a few dozen tries before my wife suggested "why don't you just have the vinyl laser cut too?" and then found out I had a place that did that 5 minutes away from where I live. Costed $8. Felt a bit silly for not having thought of it in the first place!
