    A better and more beautiful Mini-ITX Case named CC. You might like it at first sight.

    Looks like a mashup of the Jonsbo UMX1 and MX2 cases. I agree with every else prior, this case looks like it will get hot.

    So far so good. Main reason why I went with the 750 is size and power. That was pretty much the only thing that would fit lengthwise. No extra power connector and it has a low TDP so I don't overload the cooling. I stared at the water loop and just thought... I can make this look cleaner...

    Thanks mate! I admit, this was painstakingly slow. The slim fans are working as well as I can hope for considering my circumstances. For instance, today is a nice 30C in LA. No AC in a lot of apartments in LA. My computer is at about 36-37C while I'm surfing the web. I'm going to do a...

    ITS FINISHED! :eek: The hardest part about this small case is the fact its small and I can't hide cables behind false panels! So the majority of my wiring is tucked behind the PSU shroud, radiator, or motherboard. - ATX12V is running behind the PSU shroud - PWM fan connector to the CPU...

    If they were normal fans yes it would. But I got slim fans that were able to fit between the the bottom of the curved panel and the bottom of the metal frame. You can kind of make out the other side panel right below the fans. :D

    That's how I feel as well! ;) More to come! Yes, 90% of the cables are in the box already. Where'd they go? Stay tuned!

    Pulled my dremel out at work during lunch to cut for the radiator mounting holes I messed up on. I decided to also just get it as straight as I could. Took out my file again and went to town. My friend saw what I was doing and he said I was stupid for leaving the bare metal exposed and not...

    Haha, cardboard is the first step right? ;) Thanks, I tried to keep this as simple looking as possible. Simple case means simple design! I know some people probably feel getting my concept 3D printed is cheating as opposed to fabricating it myself, but hey, most couldn't get that level...

    So that bottom panel that's attached to the structural frame... this was my day to finish it and assembly everything together! But I failed... :mad: This is my little hobby drill press. I attach my dremel to it and away it goes! Pretty good for small things. Definitely not a workhorse...

    Bath time! I think this was 2000 grit? All nice and smooth. Ready to get some black paint on! Took the frame out of the case. This was a pain. But I'm going to be cutting out the bottom to mount the radiator and fans on to. Won't be the cleanest, but I just need to get rid of all the...

    So before I begin spray painting, this is a closeup of the printed parts. Kind of rough. I wanted to get this smooth because rough things will trap dust. And trapped dust in rough things are a pain to get clean! :mad::mad: This is my paint box (in the house). I wouldn't recommend doing it...

    It's a little drab outside in LA this weekend. I washed my printed parts thinking it was going to be a normal hot weekend so I can start priming, sanding, and painting but its been a wet and humid. :mad: I think the LA weather is trolling me or something because this gloomy weather was no...

    Thanks. It'll look better once I finish paint it. More than what a sane person would pay... $300. But I usually keep my setups around for 5 years before I get bored and upgrade.

    So a month later... teaser! The printing company was 2 weeks late in getting me the part. They had to reprint my stuff twice apparently. Its a little like sandpaper. Like 300 grit. Some of the dye is patchy so I'm going to take some duplicolor filler primer to smooth things out and then...

    Thanks! Hopefully the prints turn out good. Suppose to get them 2nd week of July. No AutoCAD. All SketchUP. Export out as an .obj file for the printers. I don't own a 3D printer. My office has a Makerbot 2 but the print bed is too small for my needs (otherwise I'd have used it). My prints...
