    Default mATX-Tower

    Gone back to using 1 system & needed a new case, considered buying 1 but decided to make 1.

    It's a spacious HTPC/gaming mATX rig.

    Measures 272W, 346D, 566H.


    Supports a 280mm AIO water cooler in top, 2 140mm system fans, 2 120mm storage fans, covered long PSU, 306mm GPU length, 190mm CPU cooler height, 5 HDD 1 SSD, mass of cable management space for what should be a clean looking build, pretty basic but quality case.



    Design.










    Made printer ready.




    Printed.




    Sliced.




    Joined & cut.




    Sanding.




    Bending.




    Grommet & mount point added, this is the PSU cover, mounts by 1 screw to a modding cube for quick full PSU access.






    Making the 10mm acrylic IO piece & 1mm piece.




    And done, reason I made it 2 dual slots is the 980 Ti reference cooler benefits from this.




    Marked & cut the mesh pieces.




    Mount holes added.




    Painted matte black.




    Case bits.




    The brush metal vinyl wrap, black internals, grey externals.




    Revised the log with different name.

    Thanks mate, I revised the grills with them looking too similar to a retail product.
    Materials still not come so nothing new to update.

    What?!? A new Waynio project??

    Looking good as always. Your metalwork is excellent, as expected, looking forward to an update.

    Done the mid & bottom panels & HDD cage, just need to make the 6 HDD trays now.

    The HDD cage is 5 panels, 8 modding cubes & 24 cut, sanded, drilled & tapped square bars, pretty good day of modding today, unsure if I'll head back to it to do those final HDD trays today or not.

    Done the HDD trays, but the mount holes was in wrong orientation so only way around it was either drill extra holes or just cut the little handles off & spin them around, I did the latter.




    All to do now is countersink all the holes throughout the case, then clean up edges, clean it all & then apply the vinyl wrap & put it all together.
