Hello, my project is to create a pc case that looks like a Diablo 3 inventory chest.
The inner frame is a mixture of wood and 3d printed plastic parts.
The outer shell will be 3d printed sanded/smoothed and then moulded and cast in resin.
The components are a mixture of old and new.
Motherboard Asus Micro ATX B85M-G
Processor intel I7 4770
Gigabyte 1660Ti windforce
Sampsung 500SSD
Corsair SF450 Platinum
32 GB corsair DDR3 1600
1 ML140 140mm PWM Premium Magnetic Levitation Fan
1 Air Series™ AF120 Quiet Edition High Airflow 120mm Fan
Challenges
Fusion 360 designing and 3D printing are new to me but I have some experience in 3d modelling.
And I have built my 3 pcs I owned, but never my own case. I also have good experience in miniature modelling and painting. Never done custom cables which I want to do.
I was a bit eager to start and printed some brackets,
But I went back to the drawing board.
The frame now has 2 steps on 3 of the sides so the frame can slide into the outer shell and sit inside the outer shells lip.

Still to do in Modelling:
The fan on the bottom is static 140 mm the one on the side is an airflow fan 120mm.
Any feedback info appreciated.

Challenges
- Only use the bottom side and one small side for air flow I/O.
- Keep the size as small as possible with the hardware available.
- Silent
- Medium to good cooling.
- 3D print the case.

Still to do in Modelling:
- Model the top part of the chest.
- Re-model the side of the outer shell that hosts the fan and PSU.
- Model the I/O ports that will be attached to the outer shell 2- USB /1 HDMI/ 1 Display port/ 1 Eithernet port. A USB 3 Port will be in one of the key-locks.
- Figure out if I Can easily remove the front side of the outer shell for display.
- 3D printing
- Casting the outer shell
- Custom cables
- Attach Blue LED Strip on the base of the wooden frame.
- Do you see any possible problems in the build?
- Is the cooling sufficient? With the two fans?
The fan on the bottom is static 140 mm the one on the side is an airflow fan 120mm.
Any feedback info appreciated.
