inspired by various open projects on the web I thought it would be cool if we created an open case design for anyone to use and/or modify.
The goals:

Before I start putting together some designs I just wanted to gauge if anyone else would be interested in this? I know a lot of people on the boards have already designed some fantastic cases, perhaps we could base an initial design off of someone else's previous work?
The goals:
- The case should be as simple to build as possible
- Using off the shelf parts will reduce construction difficulty, time & cost.
- Should cost no more to produce than a similarly specced retail case.
- Modular design allowing for easy adaptation and modding.
- The design should be scalable for different motherboard configurations.
- All plans/designs will be available to download.
- The case panels should be designed in such a way that they can be hand cut or laser/machine cut.
- The case should provide good cable management and hiding
- The design should be published additionally in DXF format so it can be easily produced from a laser cutter.
