Hi. I want to design  a small footprint vertical  case  on the cheap side


right now i feel that there are few budget friendly options for vertical cases

but geeek new A70 or the mesh-liciuos ...to name a few can change that


Specifications


Physical Dimensions: 

  • 422mm height
  • 228mm depth
  • 188mm width


Volume: 18.08L


Mainboard: ITX

GPU: 301mm long / 2.5 slots

Power Supply: ATX

CPU Cooling: air Cooler height  80mm (maybe 120mm AIO on top)

Chassis Cooling:  120mm top


Materials: wood and laser-cut acrilic panels


design guidelines 

  • weight distribution: heavy components (gpu/psu) should be supported on the base for better stability
  • air flow: chimney design, cold air enters from lateral panels and its exhausted at the top
  • size: small footprint and less than  20L... 15L ideal volume
  • price: $50 for materials

Status

First sketch.  points to resolve...

  • front I/O
  • check  rear panel desing
  • Gpu bracket
  • reduce size
  • cable management
  • others details

notes

internal hardware 3d model was took fron sketchup warehouse and just for reference


im going to try update as soon as i can



feedback and suggestions are welcome
