Designwise this is probably the prettiest PC i've ever seen.
The coolest diy PC project I've seen. Great job! I'd love to see more like this on the channel. Cheers!
More is coming! :)
...just don't hate me if I post a regular tech review once a while ;)
YetAnotherTechChannel which program do you use in desing ?
"Linus'" no additional 's'
This really is awesome, and the aesthetic is nice and unique. I really like how you used material from your wife's wedding skirt to make the mesh/filters.
Thanks :) I try to be resourceful :D
I often wander the alleys at hardware store, looking for inspirations ;)
Indeed as few construction flaws but end result still looked pretty stunning! I think it was especially aesthetically pleasing. And it could fit on any disk without taking up too much space.
Always nice to hear some of K?D's music. I also really love the design of that case. I made my own enclosure out of wood about a year ago and although it came out looking great I didn't have that many tools to work with so for this year i'm planning to revamp it and I can't wait.
This video definitely inspired me to use different materials, now I just need to source some tools
That little thing looks awesome!
I admire your ingenuity.
i'd suggest treating the wood with some kind of oil based darkening agent or something else to make the wood parts slightly darker and shiny-er to make the cheap-ish wood higher quality looking than it is.
vabese A good Varnish or lacquer would go a long way and make the computer a timeless work of art
Nice blend of metal, wood and plastic
Looks really good, I love the small form factor!
Your aesthetic is really good here. I think you did those wood accents perfectly.
Also, i wouldn't have thought that the mesh could make such a difference in how the pc looks. That was a good idea on you part.
It's great and i love it.
as an architecture student... your case is architecturally pleasing. The tectonic tho...
That's gorgeous. A set of cablemods cables that are specifically chosen for the exact length would go a long way and you could definitely fit a higher end CPU with a low profile noctua cooler in there and have a very competent little machine for the size. Awesome stuff!
without lines, every computer looks simple and good.
This would look ever better with the proper staining.
that case looks dope!
Very smart and sleek design!
This isn't case building......no no no no.
This is art!
Rizwan Mashur ul Muttakin no its case building...
Design skills 9/10 Fabrication skills 4/10
Российские хакеры не одобряют такое качество изготовления.
yeah, great design just didn't put as much effort into it as i hoped he would've
after just couple of hundreds handmade cases like this his fabrication skills would gain
whats with the fabrication? with my building skill around zero, I found this usefull. Can you recommend diy pc case tutorials of with better fabrication recommendations which do not require special pricy equipment? ty
Maksim Konstantinov lots of videos, books and even classes you can do to teach you how to use tools. This will make your tools last longer, be safer to use and make your finished project look and work better.
On the point about fabrication, yes you can drill holes here and there and hope for the best. But it is just best practice to measure, mark, centre punch and then drill.
When you use a hacksaw, use the full length of the blade, in smooth even strokes. Not just a few centimetres in the middle.
Google is your friend 'best way to ____'
Looks good! That's a marvelously unique case.
You are the most underrated RUclipsr. Love your channel.
Thanks much :D
That could easily be a very cool Portal Companion Cube build
The best DIY video ever.. Period..
Thanks :)
...there's more coming!
This looks awesome, rly nice idea. As someone said "yeah, great design just didn't put as much effort into it as i hoped he would've". What I would add is couple blue leds to make it look even better at night
Pretty slick!
Really creative and extremely aesthetic. Those who gave this a thumbs down just trolling.
Beautiful case. I tried making a case out of aluminum frames but couldn't figure out how to stick them together. Now I know. Great work!
Glad I could help :)
I've always liked the open air design.
can you start your own company of tech stuff
That's cetainly an option :)
YetAnotherTechChannel very nice, can you show another custom tower with a full size graphics card?
I'd buy this!
you got that pagani zonda cinque my dude
Are you selling this case?
Wow that looks amazing
Awesome, all of it! Nice job!
you did an amazing job there!!
This is the most amazing diy mitx case i have ever seen
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it
one word. AMAZING...
I need something like that to defend against mosquito's during hot summer days.
This is so awesome! I wonder if you could make one similarly with just the aluminum frame and leave it open, and thus install a graphics card for an open display style case.
Amazing design and build!
Amazing job man , would love to make my own scratch build
Wow that's a beautiful case, loved the wood patterns.
Thanks :) I really like how the wood pattern turned out :)
Very impressive design!
Simply artistic job. I love.
Wow, really nice-looking case! Love the simplicity of the design and the material palette and your approach to keeping it low-cost and efficient. The execution looks really well done for a DIY build, too. The way you varied the lengths and cuts of the wood pieces really helped keep all the inevitable human error stuff invisible and make everything feel intentional and clean. But I feel like you missed an opportunity to detail out the power button and make it a feature without breaking the aesthetic. It looks more like a cool box or cabinet and I think with just a little more detailing of the more "computery" parts, it could have been more easily identified as a case from a distance, but maybe that was your intention. Impressive work, sir!
this is the most beautiful case i've ever seen
Very good design conceived and fabricated!
WOW, that was awesome!
Glad to see there are still folks out there with individuality and the will to DIY. I mean how exciting can one get with your standard "box" enclosure anyways. Lots of work but well worth it for a 1-of-a-kind and not, oh ya you upgraded your case and the difference is? Only one thing, needs some kind of feet which shouldn't be too hard.
Another victory of design over common sense.
Looks funky :)
LGR would love this case.
Very creative great job!
Mobo in the middle with the PSU on the back , interesting , nice style !
I like the simplicity. This is how what I would design a case for myself. Wood looks great but I'm kinda purist. I hope you revisit this with a more industrial look
I have too many somewhat fresh ideas and too little time to revisit old projects ;)
Having said that, I will be making something similar in a not so distant future.
you got some style dude! love the idea and the new design. I'd like case manufacturers to get some inspiration from this
Wow!!! this is awesome
Great job dude!
that's beautiful.
I'm a few years late, but I really like the look of this case. I'm torturing myself looking at these. I'm heavily invested(in more ways than one) with my CaseLabs case, and really like the room it provides when it's time to upgrade, but it's still just a basic rectangle(a ginormous rectangle, but still a rectangle). Since the company went tits up, I can't easily/affordably get replacement parts without going to a fabricator, so I'm very hesitant to do any modding to it.
Good job! Now, I know what to do in a weekend!!! Thanks for idea!!!
You're very welcome! :)
You nailed it Bro !!!!!!
Awesome build
this is really cool, if only i could make something like this
Very good job, you should go even crazier and modify it to a complete fanless build!
Going fanless would require a much beefier heatsink which would increase the footprint. But I do have an idea for a similar build with a single, low RPM 120mm fan :)
Great build! I would also love a tutorial on the 3d modeling
A riveting design!
Awesome video, design and content.
Keep it up man. Waiting anxiously for your next vids. Subbed.
HA
Great stuff.
AWESOME !! SO NICE WELL DONE !!
Awesome! It's definitely the best custom case I've ever seen and one that I'd proudly keep on display! subbed
Thanks! :)
i wish i had aluminum square stock when i was building my case's skeleton. I ended up making angle bars out of strips of coffee can and screwed them together with sheet metal screws xD
Really elegant design dude.
GREAT...realy its great
Nice work man. I made a couple PC cases out of wood, need to look into metal
You are very creative sir! I just wanna grab my tools now
Good job mate, good job...
looks awesome
Nice work!
Dammit, I've just bought a new case and now you've inspired me to build one myself :(
wow...very nice.looking case.
cool design :), I like how you chamfered the food
I wish more cases looked like this and had a similar design
Verrry niceeee... I likkkee.
Dude this is awesome imagine how much money your could make by selling them
You get my like! GJ
wow Just wow That Ia The Best Loking Pc Case I Have Ever Seen
brilliantly done 👍
start a kickstarter campaign and improve the design, that will be a legit mini itx case. like the idea so much
Thanks for encouragement! :)
...I'm already thinking hard on improving the design and squeezing in a GPU while maintaining the footprint :D
Wow, it's the most beutyfull ITX case I have ever seen. You are genius!
Thanks very much :D
Real nice pc and video work!
Well done!
I like the case look great
Awesome case, now you have a brazilian fan. I'll follow you.
very nice industrial design.
Love the case and that daft punk remix at the end man :)
I didn't think that anyone would recognize that Daft Punk remix ;)
Very well done. I have also built a mini ITX case, but I went with a bent plywood cover (admittedly restricting air flow, but making it look very clean). You exexuted your idea a lot more precisely though.
Thanks :) Did you bend plywood yourself? I really want to learn how to do that :)
Holy shit dude, awesome work!
Great Idea 👌🔝
That was beautiful. I couldn't find the power button on the glam shots of the finished product, but it sure does look beautiful.
Excelente...!!!
It looks great, and airflow must be fantastic. I just hope it's dusted regularly by its new owners!
If you ever feel like re-visiting this design I bet anodized black aluminum and a darker stained wood would look great together
I will be revisiting this design, but will be going for a little different looks... I already have it visualized in my head and came up with a perfect name :)
that is nearly good!
very nice piece of modern simple art work infuse technoly
The icing of the cakes 🎂 whaaaaaaaa
Really good ! Also nice reuse for a wedding dress material ; ) You should add a warning though : Consult the wife before extraction of the needed material if none is previously leftover ...
Excellent job mate! Rub this to the face of all case manufacturers, producing really small mini-itx cases and charging 300+ Euros (yeah Streacom, I'm talking bout you..)
Try a dark version of aluminium in G-sketch! I think it would look killer!
There will be another one like this with a bit different aesthetics :)
