Concept litecase - I first worked on this in 2018. A 12.5 L vertical case similar to an H1, but a little smaller with support for more cooling.

litecase is a 12.5 L vertical case with support for 3-slot GPUs up to 300mm in length, a 240mm AIO, and a 120mm exhaust fan.

Dimensions: 389 x 183 x 176
CPU Cooler Clearance: 95mm with no AIO. 240mm AIO with single fan.
GPU Clearance: 300mm or 325mm with no exhaust fan.


I was contacted two years ago by a now defunct computer building company to manufacture and sell this case under their umbrella. Unfortunately, I received little support from them and ended up abandoning the project myself. I first started drawing litecase in 2018 before the H1 was even announced. Now there are a plethora of vertical ITX cases and it seems redundant to release this, but I'd at least like to make a couple.

Recently, I've started to chip away at it. I'd love some help from anyone experienced in sheet metal modeling. I am specifically looking for someone who is able to edit my draft into something manufacturable, as I am just a hobby modeler with a masters in writing poetry--product design is not a honed strong suit. Feel free to reach out. I really want to see this through to fruition.

I quite like this! I'm also a hobbyist so I don't know if I'd be able to get your project "manufacturing ready", but would be neat if you shared the files on something like thingiverse or similar?

I can’t be of any help on the manufacturing/file editing side either, but I love this case concept. Maybe the folks at Sliger could help? Shout out to SFF nerds with MFAs in poetry, thought I was the only one!
