No, but the slotted extrusion could be leveraged for this. Pretty heavy. Yes. :) Hmmm...hadn't thought about that. Thanks!

What is your budget? Desired/required features?

Leverage the riser cable mounting/PCIE socket/bracket.

So, you want a Caselabs STH10 or THW10? :cool:

The extrusions I use are less expensive than MakerBeam XL and will include all required machining i.e. drilled, threads tapped, milled, etc.

Yes, it can be broken down and should fit into a USPS Medium Flat rate box.

For Sale: Prototype mini-ITX and micro-ATX case frames. The mini-ITX frame includes a Danger Den 3-slot IO bracket, for $65, plus whatever the shipping charge is from Washington State. PayPal only. The frame measures 13-3/8 x 10 x 8-1/2-inches (D x W x H). A 120mm fan will fit at the back of...

(4) CONSOLIDATE Threads. Do not post multiple threads, keep all your FS/FT deals in one thread, and all WTB/WTTF deals in a different thread. You should only have one FS/FT and one WTB/WTTF thread active at any one time. When making a new thread, include items from the old thread.

The panels are secured with 6 fasteners, so no vibrating at all, and in fact I'm contemplating just going with 4x fasteners per panel.

The prototype is done. Please tell me what you think of the design, fabrication, etc.!

I only realized after cutting the left side panel that the two fan hole cutouts were - um, ugly. So, I remounted that sheet to the inside of the case and cut another solid sheet, thus creating a bottom fed air duct to keep the GPU nice and cool. :cool:

Nuts can be inserted into the extrusion via small milled-out areas. By "capturing" a nut between two others (4mm long set screws are used to retain the two outer nuts), you have the ability to fasten to a fixed location and without having to drill and tap a thread e.g. a side panel.

All of the side panels will be cut on the CNC. Here's a quick time lapse of the PSU cut out:

Drives attach to the extrusion via rubber grommets. Finished cutting and assembling the rest of the frame.

I started to build a prototype of the vertical mini-ITX/mini-DTX case this week. Some of the details of the case are: Dimension: 435 x 235 x 300mm (height x width x depth) Motherboard support: mini-ITX/mini-DTX (90-degree rotated) CPU cooler height: 150mm GPU support: maximum length of 325mm...

Here's a case designed specifically for an AIR cooled DTX/mini-ITX rig. Long 3 slot GPU. 165mm max CPU cooler height. Shown with an ATX PSU, dual 140mm intake, 140mm exhaust, and dual 120mm bottom intake. The placement of the motherboard can be adjusted vertically. This design allows for easy...

You can purchase "domed" mesh fan grills: http://www.performance-pcs.com/steel-mesh-120-mm-fan-filter-small-size-hole-black.html

I've been thinking a lot about a more re-configurable case frame. One that can be used for ATX, reverse-ATX, vertical GPU, and horizontal case orientation(s), adjustable motherboard and PSU placement (all of these possibilities in one offering). Here's a flyby around the model...

Client posted a video of this/his radiator box.

You'd have to thread them yourself, which is easy enough.

You don't need any extra corner hardware to fasten extrusions together, just a button head bolt (and a wrench access hole, drilled in order to gain access to the bolt in order to tighten it).

Install complete!

Here's a box to hold a SFX-size PSU, fan controller, and 560 radiator. An EK Water Blocks reservoir will eventually be mounted on the side.

I currently make an open air frame for the Octominer: I think investing any $ into designing and building cases for mining rigs is long gone. :( I do not have a Patreon account. Why would I? :confused:

Do you want to try to fix your tray or just buy one of mine?

Yeah, I can probably supply you with everything you need. What size extrusion is your frame made out of? I don't understand what you mean by "moutherboard mount pieces". Please send me a private message with more details, along with some pics would be great!

I still build and sell these. :(

I fabricate cases exclusively using aluminum extrusion and sheeting, which cut like butter using standard/normal carbide tipped woodworking saw blades and router bits. I cut the AL sheets on a table saw and "drill" fan holes using a handheld router (although, recently upgraded to a CNC). -Rich

These can be made stackable: http://spotswoodcomputercases.com/wp/?page_id=1424 Many different sizes for all form factors. Semi-custom is also an option.

I'm guessing McMaster part # 24215T47 or 24215T52? (Depending on whether a 1.5-inch or 2-inch size mounting plate). Good luck!

Protocase

This was going to be the first frame. Standard or reverse ATX motherboard orientation. Thirty-five millimeters of space behind the motherboard for 3 HDs or 4 SSDs (via rubber grommets). Optional PSU and motherboard backplates (not shown). Dimensions: 19-1/4 x 14-1/4 x 9-7/8 inches. This...

Here's a custom mini-ITX case frame. The PCI backplate was cutdown from a CaseLabs Bullet replacement panel. The client will be applying acrylic panels to the frame.

Set of plain aluminum panels will be around $100.

Figure $.0078/mm for the extrusion, plus $45 for the set of back and PSU plates. There's a bit of redundant beams in this model, but as-is, it would cost ~$60. That price includes machining and fasteners.
