    I used a tracksaw for the kerfs and a routing bit for the holes! Thanks!

    I realised I have not updated you on the finish of the project. This year has been a lot, but here are the final results! This is how the flat case looked after the routing After much trial and error, and many broken cases, I finally managed to bend one with the help of steaming hot water...

    Yesterday I began making my first kerf-cuts in the actual wood to be used for the cases. It's a time consuming process, but also a scary one. Hours of work could be ruined by one skewed cut, or a too deep one. There were quite some residual stresses in the wood, probably from the gluing...

    Update! The weekend is closing in and I want to get started on the cases. I've been waiting for my new cooler and motherboard to arrive in order to get some final measurements. My month long search for an open workshop has been in vain. I had to get this done one way or the other, so I went...

    I found this video , it seems like they are using the same motherboard with the BeQuiet TF! A tight fit but should be doable.

    I have thought about this, however the PSU and motherboard should be grounded by the wiring in any way needed. As they are connected with ground cables they are effectively grounded. There is no need for a metal case really. All components are connected to the motherboard, and the motherboard...

    Thanks for the headsup. I have some really low profile RAM, but I will investigate this... I would like to have a pretty large cooler, but not that goes out of the case or past the GPU.

    Thanks for your kind words! The one thing I wish I had access to in order to elevate the design would probably be a CNC and a laser. Would be kind of dope if the buyers could choose an artwork to laser-etch in the front piece or such. I just ordered the SF600 from Corsair, as well as the...

    I always make a sanitycheck when it comes to durability. Especially since I'm working with wood that is not as strong as metal. In the simulation above, I have calculated with a single point 40N load in the position of the cooler. This is a rough estimate of the normal weight with some...

    I'm on my 4th year of my masters degree in Mechanical engineering with specialization in Industrial Design. As part of the program is to find a need and create a design to be produced in a short production of 10 units and sell. I've always been the aluminum-fan and never really worked with wood...

    I have two possible routes to go, and I'm not sure which one it is gonna be. Easiest way would be to control fans through bios and CPU temp and set the curve super conservatively with maybe 70% at all times and up to 100% as CPU approaches 70C. This poses two different problems, first of all...

    I had an old Aquaero 6 LT laying around in a box, so I hooked up all the fans and tempsensors to it! Really good to have when testing. I was hoping to be able to fit it in the case so I can control the PSU fans with the PSU temps. But right now I can't seem to make it fit. Haha yeah, it was...

    I finally got the Silverstone Flex ATX 500W in the mail! Time for some testing! This is a pretty small PSU! Inside is crowded! I understand why they put those noisy 40mm fans there. Gotta push some air. As you can see on the image below I have fitted a temperature sensor onto the heatsink. I...

    Thank you! Yeah that H2O Micro was absurdly small, would be cool if it were updated with recent hardware to see how good it perform against ordinary MOBO+DDRs and if a 3070 would be able to be fitted. I also looked into making it smaller and using a power-brick, but I figured I'd like to keep...

    Looking good! Looking forward to see more when your case arrives! As for CPU, yes, single-thread is what mostly matters in CAD, which kind of sucks. Feels like they could push a lot more should they only make it multi threaded.
