there is a sticky on making your own case out of plastic in this forum.

my case is 17" x 17.5" (discluding plastic face) x 8"
Height x Length x width
The measurements of my midtower are around those numbers

I designed a case last year for my senior project. I could send you the files (created in autodesk inventor 6) if you have access to some sort of cad program (autocad, mech desktop, solid works) I'll send them to you. I can export them in a few different formats (*.step, *.dxf) That way you could view the 3d models. Otherwise I could send jpegs.

I know I keep plugging it, but yeah Ive made a few. My latest and "best" built:

Definitely read the sticky. Also, Captain Slug and a few others here are good resources on building scratch cases.

I doubt many people would give up whatever designs they have for custom cases theyve built (I know I wouldnt). Though I can halp out with anything you would want to know.
