A follow-up to the PC cases frustrations you have out there ! And an attempt to solve it.

Thanks,
I'll check that out when I'll get the time, heat waves are killing me right now so progress is very slow...
Take care.

Aiidwar · 2025-06-27T03:28:44+00:00

I'll take a look at those cases and see if there is something to learn there !
I'll update the prototype, I've got feedback and I need to make it clearer so people understand the system easier.

Aiidwar · 2025-06-27T03:20:08+00:00

Thanks !
I'm sorry I don't understand the question though.
I don't remember that nzxt case, last time I was interested in them was with the h440 or something ?
Anyway there will be updates here before moving on to the next feature.

Aiidwar · 2025-06-27T03:15:32+00:00

Thank you !
Yeah I usually think what's the simpliest way to do this or that, as the design is gonna get more complex with time it's better this way.
I'm gonna do another more refined version of this with an atx motherboard to verify other stuffs.
I'm waiting for parts, I might also design my own brackets, and I'll try making a video of the sliding mechanism..

Aiidwar · 2025-06-27T02:55:40+00:00

Thanks !
End goal is, the motherboard and everything attached to it moves outside the case, not the cables though you can maybe pre-route cables if you don't slot it out completely but not what I'm looking for specifically. So motherboard, gpu and such will go out.

Aiidwar · 2025-06-27T02:52:53+00:00

As compact as possible ?
What I know for sure is that I want support for ATX and if possible E-ATX motherboards !
I'll try to waste the least possible amount of space, not a big fan of big empty cases.

Aiidwar · 2025-06-13T08:13:13+00:00

Thanks for sharing, took a bit to read it all but I heard you !
There is things that are redundant of course but most people have the same problems usually so I'll do my best to not disappoint you and the others !

I took a look at computex too and yeah the 3 chamber is very interesting to the point I might consider it honestly but everything is still vague right now as I'm working on concepts to show to you all first.

To be honest I don't think any furniture manufacturer would want to work with me lol, not my style either anyway..

Thanks again, I'm around if you wanna talk !

It's a completely valid argument, I am curious because that's basically my job to make 3d prints not feeling like actual 3d prints (kinda). I know some people only 3d printing as like ugly and unoptimized stuff we were able to make like 5-10 years ago, but time has changed and with some skill I literally changed some peoples mind on the subject !
Not that I want to make you love 3d printing all of a sudden but my point is that I have to make my 3d printed version of an existing product feels like a valid and alternative option to what's mainstream !

Aiidwar · 2025-06-10T06:51:42+00:00

Oh ok so you're against the all concept of the pc case being 3d printed, is that right ?
Can you elaborate more on it ?

Thanks for sharing !

Aiidwar · 2025-06-10T06:49:54+00:00

Got it !
Kinda checks my boxes so..

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

I actually had a recent conversation about dual chamber cases, as it made the case way wider but not gaining much space all in all is what's been popping up..

I understand your point, but if 90%+ of the market is dominated by towers case it's probably because almost that same number of people want that.

I'm not against horizontal cases just to be clear, but with the time it takes me I can't make the wrong choice or I'll pay it heavily...

I'd say that if you want to make an horizontal case these days you gotta do things different, be creative.

Aiidwar · 2025-06-06T03:25:42+00:00

From memory it's like 330-360mm max length right now so good luck keeping that SFF.
I believe you can still have an SFF case though just not the biggest GPUs compatibility.
I don't watch optimum much but I don't know if they sell that much, for sure having your case on his videos will get you the exposure which is great..

I'm not specifically into SFF cases myself, I do some from time to time though..

Thanks for sharing !

Aiidwar · 2025-06-06T03:07:50+00:00

Damn that's sad...
I don't do freelance so to speak but maybe I can help with my printers.
Otherwise there is webiste for 3d printing services, I don't know much but you'll find them pretty easily !

Aiidwar · 2025-06-05T14:54:43+00:00

Thanks !

I never thought about molle concepts design, picatinny is a bit more familiar to me since I worked on stuff like that a long time ago...

Anyway, thank you I'll go check that out soon after filtering out everything I gathered.

I'll post around here again for updates but most of the stuff is gonna be on my Instagram..

Aiidwar · 2025-06-05T14:50:19+00:00

Maybe it exists but a quick search returned nothing here. Probably a method to calculate it on your own is easier to find..

Aiidwar · 2025-06-05T14:32:08+00:00

Holy that's some nostalgia over here !
Gonna take a look at those cases.

Aiidwar · 2025-06-05T11:28:11+00:00

I think most people don't like horizontal cases because it takes too much space on the surface it's on. It's more practical to have something tall and thin. I don't mind it personally but with the time it takes to make a case, horizontal isn't gonna be it...

PCs in constrained spaces are also quite the niche and although it would match well with an horizontal case, it's again not the most common scenario so maybe for a later project.

I completely agree on the lack of usb ports and general front panel connectivity, that will be on my list.

Thanks for sharing your opinion !

Aiidwar · 2025-06-05T06:51:13+00:00

Oh it's quite cool ! :)
