This is a project/build log for a custom case to house both a storage server and gaming rig.
This fairly compact case is designed to hold:
The size of the case is to be kept as small as possible, which is mostly driven by the size of the motherboard trays. But until those arrive, I fabricated the PSU mounting plate from some 2.5mm aluminum sheet.
The cutouts were made via a hand held router fitted with a flush pattern bit, guided by a template.
That's it for now!
This fairly compact case is designed to hold:
- Two EATX motherboard trays
- Two ATX PSUs
- Twenty four 3.5-inch hard drives
- Six SSDs
- Two 120x3 water cooling radiators
