Hi from Forgedawg!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been following the custom case and SFF scene for a while and finally decided to jump in. I’m currently moving away from traditional enclosures to prototype a vertical, wall-mounted layout.

My main focus right now is the 'mechanical' side of the build. I'm looking at custom-mounting components to a non-standard substrate (wood/composite) and trying to solve for:

  • Structural Load: Managing the cantilever weight of modern GPUs on vertical brackets.
  • Grounding: Ensuring a common ground across a non-conductive backboard.
  • Cable Routing: Designing clean, bulkhead-style pass-throughs to keep the footprint as slim as possible.

I'm a big fan of the fabrication work that happens here, so I'm looking forward to learning from the experts on how to keep custom layouts stable and safe.

Cheers,
Forgedawg
