Thank you very much for sponsoring my project!
I started up this project a few months ago, but there is still a lot left to do, so I thought i would be appropriate to start a worklog hare at this forum too.
The main goal of this project is to create a computer case out of MDF, and later use it as a server or guest computer.
Here's the first draft of the unfinished 3D-modell.
The grey box under the motherboard tray is a gigabit switch that will be usefull at LAN-partiese etc.
And here are some pictures that shows the work I did earlier:
The vertical separator was a bit too large, så I had to resize it to make it fit inside the frame.
And then I had to drill a few holes for the screws...
I've milled the outer edges of the case, and sanded a bit.
There are a few screws located at the rear end of the case, so I'm not going to mill that part of the case yet...
What do you think about the result so far?
List of things left to do
- [X] Make feet out of MDF, or purchase aluminum feet
- [X] Attach the vertical separator
- [X] Make or buy a mount for harddrives
- [X] Purchase fans
- [X] Purchase power/reset-button
- [X] Drill holes for the fans
- [X] Drill holes for cable management
- [X] Paint the case and the motherboard tray
- [X] Milling the edges of the case
Hope you like the project!
