Hello, there's the promised update, sorry for the delay:

  • I changed the GPU from the RX580 to a RX5600XT from Sapphire. I removed the GPU fans and shroud, so I can cool it with the 12mm fans underneat, one of wich is controlled from the card itself.
  • I replaced the PSU with a Cooler Master Modular 650W SFX, held in place with 2 metal corners.
  • I also replaced the 3.5" Hard Drive to a 4TB Dual plate disk, wich is "hanging" from the top with some elastic bands to prevent any unwanted reisonance.
  • I moved the 9mm fan from the side opening to the new opening on the back, now temps are 2-3 degrees cooler.
  • I added a COB RGB strip (from aliexpress) wich I can control directly from the MB RGB port.
  • I moved the PSU cable from the inside with a Male-Female cable, so it's cleaner.

It's really, really quiet, I'm very happy.

About the case build itself, the panels are 6mm thick MDF, I added some wooden segments (4-6-8mm square sections) and it's glued with PVA glue (some hot glue for not structural parts).

The rounded corners are made with an hand planer, than smoothed with sandpaper.

For the side mesh, I stole it from an old case (P4 era), glued to the side panel and bent the corners to act like a door edge to held the top part closed. Inside the bottom feet are 2 screw that hold the bottom part.

For the back exaust, I found 2 cheap air vents in an hardware store.

Now I'm searching a mesh for the GPU cover, to clean up all the back side.

I will keep this post updated, thanks and best regards.
