Long journey from fridge-style PC to backpack PC. M-ITX build

[iampaul]

Hi! Want to share my case. It was started as aluminum frame with center plate for motherboard and GPU, worked fine, but teared apart my backpack with sharp edges.

So I decided to do something a bit nicer and convenient. After 6 month of lazy CAD-designing, I ended up with this:

Unfortunately I don't have access to laser cutting and aluminum, so I had to work with what I have - old-school guillotine, punching machine and steel. at least powder coating is not that rare.

But it turned out CRISP!

Somehow I did vent holes spacing equal to noctua 80mm fan!

And I managed to add aditional 2,5 hdd tray. Works fine with short GPU I am using

Seems silly to block a fan like that...

It is not blocked at all. This hdd tray has two positions for disks. I used upper one. And at the bottom of tray there is vent grill
