I cheated

[VanGoghComplex]

3D printed... uh... "case", which sticks an mITX board on stilts at a groovy angle. Inspired by all manner of open-frame chassis.

The shown system is an AsRock J3455-ITX with a PicoPSU-80 and a cheap Crucial 120gb SSD, which mounts as shown below:

I really don't feel like this is worth much, but it was a fun modeling project and a neat print.

I like it. Effective.

 

[pendragon1]

neat. looks like a display stand youd see at one of the trade show.

you monster

No cheating in SFF...!

It may look all cool & angular & slick; but when you have to total up the bounding box volume...

;^p

Where's the glass panels?

Where's the glass panels?

Maybe just drop a bell jar over it...

 

[illram]

Nice. With the mobo off it sort of reminds me of an MC Escher drawing....

That is the exact board I am planning on using in a project. What is there height of the highest component (guessing the heatsink)?

The tallest component I measured is actually the I/O shroud over the audio ports. I get roughly 38mm there of total board thickness, including solder pokies on the bottom.

Fantastic, thanks for checking.

Looks much easier to clean out dust that way

That's actually the reason that I went open frame and will probably never go back.

Seems like a good idea. I feel like my house isn't that dusty, but my computers all tell me I'm wrong! If I didn't have little kids that like to put their fingers on everything I would consider this.

Looks nice. Do you have a STL or GCODE file for it you can share?
