    That's exactly what I was going for. Just scaled up to fit a mini-itx mobo. :) My proportions are a little out from a PSU. I'd have to be at 110 mm in height. I'm at 92 mm right now, but will be increasing to 100 mm. 100 mm in height will also allow for doing a variation that fits 2.5"...

    That is cheap. Definitely a good example of a minimalist case.

    I don't think 3.5" drives are going to happen in this design at least. After you said that, I held up a 3.5" drive to the case and it's just a bit too unbalanced... it's almost as big as the case, and weighs just about as much too! :eek: :)

    Thanks, I definitely just got tired of waiting for someone else to make what I wanted. I hadn't seen those actually, or I don't remember seeing them. So I do appreciate you sharing! Definitely one of the nicer tiny cases I've seen.

    My thoughts exactly. The M350 is nice in it's own special way tho. :)

    Thanks! I gave this idea some consideration when I first started. I'll give it a second look. 2x 2.5" drives would fit, and could be accessed through a hatch in the bottom? My concerns were the increased case height, the mobo floating up high in the air, stuff hanging down on the bottom of...

    Thanks, those look pretty good. I like that you can buy them in two sizes. Some differences though between my goals and the goals of that case. Mine doesn't support optical drives - how awesome is that! ;) Also, mine has about 60 mm of clearance, or 85 mm of clearance without the case fan...

    Ya, that's an interesting idea! I was hoping to make it fit a low-profile expansion card, just not a high priority for myself since I never use any cards. Do you happen to have a link to someone that sells these? I am also planning on adding some additional length so the HDD isn't right next...

    Thanks! That's the first positive response I've gotten :) It's laser cut, and punched. One of the companies we work closely with is helping me with it. I wish I could do it all myself, then I could pump out prototypes like they were candy!

    I'm trying to build a mini-itx case for minimalists like myself, or maybe it's that I'm trying to build a case that is minimal to make :) This is my first prototype, and I've discovered a few things that don't work so well, and that I'm not so sure about... Is my 140 mm fan completely...
