Description

I wanted to replace my NAS with a custom unraid server. But i couldn't find a computer case, that meets my requirements and fits in my server cabinet. So I designed and built my own modular case.

Modules (combine like you want)
- CPU module for Mini ITX mother board und ATX power supply
  - Mother board slides in on an extra mount
- SSD module for 10x 2,5" solid state disks
- HDD module for 6x 3,5" hard disks
- Fan module for 200mm PC case fan
- Damping feet for vibration reduction
- Custom SSD tray
- Custom HDD tray optimized for vibration reduction
- Dummy SSD and HDD for empty slots to preserve optimal air flow and hold free sata connectors
Strength
- Added wall loops and shell layers
- Modules mounted together with heavy duty dovetails
- Optimized stiffness per design where possible
- NOT optimized to save filament or printing time
Cable Management
- All connectors on the front
  - Power supply and motherboard IO panel connectors front facing
  - SATA cables connected from front side (like a network patch panel)
- Ribs with mounts for cable ties nearly everywhere inside the modules
Air flow
- Big 200mm fan for drive and case cooling
- Air flow concept optimized for the vents in my cabinet
  - Takes in air from the sides
  - Blows out on front and top
Assembly
- Dovetail to hold modules together
- Screwed together using M4 screws and heat inserts
- Back covers fixed with M3 screws and heat inserts
- TPU feet fixed with M4 screws and heat inserts
