Behind the CPU I'd like to include a cut out with flanges around the edges for some added stability. Since those flanges are coming from the cutout space I know I need to leave out some material at corners to accommodate the bend/tooling and also the flange overlap. The trouble is I'm not sure...

I shot an e-mail over to protocase asking about bend radii and it's relationship to cutouts relative to their capabilities. They didn't really give me good answers (which is fine I've not given them any money yet and was asking for free engineering help) but they suggested I switch from .081 to...

I didn't find anything specifying the location of the CPU on the Motherboard. However, after looking at the Corsair air 240 it seems like just leave it all open is their plan. The 240 seems to have tabs that stick out for the mounting pins and that's about it the rest of the space behind the...

I've transitioned to freeCAD. It's a different experience. I just about lost my marbles yesterday because it wasn't letting me use the edges of some existing geometry to constrain a new sketch (2d drawing) but I figured it out, I hadn't fully constrained that initial geometry. I do have one...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CEIEWU4/?tag=theminutiae-20 This is the riser I was planning on using, but it looks like I missed that ship, which is unfortunate because that one looks really slick compared to the grey ribbon and blue tape ones that are flooding the market. It does have mounting...

Hi I'm new, I'm working on my first custom case project where I'm planning to use a PCI-express extension cable to mount the GPU in a parallel (perhaps co-planar is more accurate) orientation to the motherboard. Currently the only thing holding the GPU in place is(are) the screw(s) on the PCI...
