DE-MO.computer update 1
Hi all, My name is Hans, I’m an industrial designer and CGI artist.
I’d like to introduce you to my ongoing project which I’ve been working on and off over the past 7 months and hope to make available in the coming 2 months.
DE-MO.COMPUTER is customisable pc case system build by the user.
It consist out of easy to manufacture parts and already available parts, parts which are either sourced or manufactured yourself or with a group.
DE-MO.COMPUTER Should be seen as a canvas, users can build what they need and would and can keep on upgrading their case design.
01 The case build starts with makerbeam alu extrusions, these extrusions are connected to a 3d printed part(cornerblock).
02 The 3d printed cornerblock can either be printed flat with nut inserts(tested), or solid and with threaded inserts (to be tested).
03 The MB will be attached to the mid panel(tested). The PSU will be attached to a 3D printed case which then can be attached to the mid part (tested).
04 Panels can be manufactured in various ways, 3d printed and lasercut in any heat resistant material. (currently testing anodized alu, 3d printed and lasercut acrylic)
05 the front IO consist out of usb c and a power button (keyswitch). (tested)
06 Feet can basicly be anything you like. currently got 2 designs made, A. Solid feet, B. Sans serif feet. Currently looking into caster wheels as feet.
07 accessories can be printed and attached to the case (similar as the coolermaster Q500) Think of handles on top, game controller holder, headphone holder etc.
By changing the panels as you want a unique look can be created. I’ve been interested in cases with a translucent front panels so this could be an option as well. Think of different colors/finishes for panels, various accessories and ofcourse different hardware to create the pc of your dreams. Cables can neatly be tucked in between the midpanel en the sidepanel

Since I'm new here, I'd love to hear about your experiences with the rollout of these projects.
Currently, my plan is to gauge interest in purchasing the project files as a blueprint package. If the project gains popularity, I might consider creating a website or webshop where parts can be sold and shipped. If you got any questions please let me know and i’d love to hear your feedback. I'm not sure if i'm able to share links in this post but you can find more information on
