Heres that design

Blue indicates hinges

requires too much space... make it like the model t

 

[ex_reven]

i dont get it...
i see how the model t does it, but i dont see how it can be applied to the case other than having the roof of the case fold backwards into the side rather than out... but you cant negate the space that the side takes up when its folded out without obstructing access to the case

nah, don't like it

 

[pt]

i decide to make a atx case, and a m-atx, they have to be identical, just differ in size

 

[ex_reven]

nah, don't like it

meh, your choice your case

 

[pt]

essentials:
1x120mm fan on the front
1x120mm fan on the back
atx and m-atx case
brushed aluminium
painted with shiny black
removable motherboard tray
space behind the motherboard to hide wires
acrylic window (side (and top?))
usb/fan controller and microphone on the front

i think the top window will be ugly imo

imagine looking through it and seeing nothing but psu, cables, cd drives and all the dust accumulation

he said he was gonna make it a desktop i thought....?

 

[Canuto]

What about a button "explode"?

Sorry

 

[ex_reven]

i dunno...the assignment is to design ANY computer case... i dont think it matters

 

[pt]

he said he was gonna make it a desktop i thought....?

i'm going to do a atx case, and also a m-atx case
no explode buttons allowed

 

[ex_reven]

Canuto i share your pain

 

[Random Murderer]

ooo, what about a built in beverage chiller?

 

[ex_reven]

his design guidelines probably wouldnt allow for it
i.e he has to build a design that meets the needs of the consumer in an inexpensive way to produce.

Putting a beverage chiller in raises the price of the product and as a result may turn away potential buyers. Just a thought...but it depends on his assessment criteria i guess.

 

[Random Murderer]

you can get a usb beverage chiller for 20 usd...

 

[ex_reven]

yeah but his case design would have to be altered, more aluminum used...when it comes to aluminum more curves = more time in production...production time costs money...wages+material costs+transport+insurance+machinery+tools+factory rental

meaning that if his case had to be mass produced, that amount adds up to more than $20US on the consumers end...and i dont even want to think what it would cost if they didnt use like non slave style workers

Hmm... is it going to be an inverted atx?

like the baydream?

 

[tkpenalty]

like the baydream?

Whats a baydream? I mean like those Lian Li cases, ultra flashy, the HDDs at the bottom, in a separate compartment, the Motherboard basically mounted upside-down with the case opening from the right (viewing from the front of the PC).

sry, in america they have a different name
it's a possibility, but more and more (specialy asus boards) are getting heatpipe cooled chipset that in btx/inverted atx are useless

the case i was talking about

 

[pt]

and you we're talking about this one, right?

 

[ex_reven]

figured out your final design yet?

 

[pt]

figured out your final design yet?

nah
it is going to take a month or more
keep the ideas comming
