Update 15.03.2026

  • Triangulus ATX Tower - Released!

     

    The Triangulus ITX Tower couldn't meet the requirements for ATX hardware, so the Triangulus ATX Tower was completely redesigned. The new project was inspired by the triangular shape but significantly changes structure and dimensions and also improves functionality. Now you can enjoy attractive design without purchasing expensive ITX/SFX hardware.

     

    Check my designs!

v2 Update 27.01.2026

  • Added GPU mounting position with video output facing down
  • Added support for 140 / 280 / 420 AIO Coolers
  • Added Print Profile for A1 mini printer
  • Improves AIO backplates compatibility
GPU mounted with video output facing down
280 mm AIO cooler

What makes this project interesting:

A unique triangular design. The open-air structure provides excellent hardware display, especially for AIO water coolers. It allows you to build a PC in a new, unparalleled form. Each of the three sides of the tower can be displayed according to your preferences. The case is multifunctional, allowing you to build a spectacular PC or file server.  It is easy to print and assembly is straightforward.

 

Hardware Compatibility

* tested with MSI RTX 3070 Ventus x3 ~1Kg

Printing

For maximum durability, print with ABS in a closed chamber. You can also print with PETG using an A1 and A1 mini printers.

Basic parameters

• nozzle 0.4
• layer height 0.2
• wall count 3
• top layers 5
• infil 20%

Optional parts

Optional parts can be found in print profiles.

Three slot GPU Bracket

Allows the installation of a three-slot graphics card. 

2.5” / 3.5” Drive Bracket

Allows to mount a 2.5" or 3.5" drive.

Assembly

Below in the Triangulus_ITX_Tower_Asswmbly_Manual_v2.pdf file you will find a detailed description of the assembly.

 

Hardware Assembly
GPU Mounting position

It is possible to mount the graphics card with the video outputs facing up or down. This is an individual matter and depends on the GPU model. In some cases, the graphics card cooling may operate at lower efficiency whan video outputs facing up.

 

Generally heat pipes works better when heating source is lower than cooling side. It can be assumed that the GPU cooler has two sides and between them there is the core. The cooling side, which is larger, should be placed higher, than cooling performance will be similar to standard mounting position.

For simplicity, it can be assumed that: Video output position facing UP is good for GPUs: 

  • with two fans and the core centered between them
  • without heat pipes
  • with blowair cooling
  • some ITX GPUs with one fan like a Sapphire Pulse RX 570 ITX  

Video output position facing Down is good for GPUs: 

  • with three fans
  • with two fans but core placed not central, is nearer video output ports
  • some retro GPUs with one fan like Asus GTX 460 DirectCU

Hardware Assembly
AIO Cooler

Blue dots shows mounting points for 120 / 240 / 360 AIO coolers. Orange dots shows mounting points for 140 / 280 / 420 AIO coolers.

PCI-E Riser

Unfortunately, not every riser has identical mounting points. If you have problem to mount different riser, send me private message. I'll try to resolve the compatibility issue.

As a file server

The Triangulus ITX Tower case can be used as a home file server. Instead of mounting an all-in-one water cooler and a graphics card, you can use drive brackets. Below is an example configuration. An additional print profile for a single drive bracket is included.

 

On the left, mounting three 2.5" drives on one side of the case. On the right, mounting two 3.5" drives on the other side of the case.

My favorite practical print I've ever done. I had so much fun building this machine I cant remember last time I had this much fun doing anything. print is amazing thank you for such well thought out design.

In my opinion it's looks great. This orange color gives something fresh to this design.

Have you considered making a version where the GPU has its connectors facing downwards?Some testing suggests that the ‘hanging’ mounting position will cause bad thermal performance when GPU is not equipped with heat pipes specifically designed for the situation as the heating end now sits higher than the evaporation end. (This may also require the motherboard & its connectors to face downward) Great design though! Bravo!

Thank you for this question it is interesting topic. I think that every modern GPUs have heat pipes that works independent of position. Maybe in some retro GPUs it was a case. Maybe some coolings with vapor chamber could may have an issue. Could you send me some link to this tests it interest me. Look on a standard GPU cooler mounted in PCI-E slot. Evaporation part of heat pipe is always on top. Look into the picture in attachment. In my opinion in 99% of cases transfer of coolant will be look that, independent of position. Putting GPU into 'hanging' position is similar to the CPU tower cooler. Some heat pipes are higher than CPU some lower but it works fine. Inside heat pipe should be internal pressure. Evaporation on the hot side push liquid coolant from cool side to hot side.

The testing videos are in Chinese, here are the video links: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1dBp3zvESf and https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1eS4y1Z7mr In one of the videos, they tested four different GPUs sent by MSI in five different mounting orientations (none of which had specially designed heatpipes), and all of them showed worse thermal performance when mounted in the hanging orientation, even the one with a vapour chamber (although there was no impact on framerate). This will have impact on the noise level and, in the long-term, affect the longevity of the GPU. This is largely due to how conventional heat pipes work. When mounted in a hanging position, the liquified coolant needs to overcome the gravity to return to the heating end after cooling down, which is suboptimal in normal heatpipes without a specially designed capillary structure.

To my knowledge, on this generation of GPU (Nvidia RTX50 series and AMD 9000 series), only some flagship models from ASUS, Gigabyte and XFX are equipped with specially enginnered heatpipes that can work properly even in hanging orientation (and it still will be worse than other orientation cuz the gravity). This would not been problematic in the past generations of hardware since they do not produce as much heat, the widely seen passthrough heatsink design on the recent generation of GPUs have also effectively made the issue worse.

I just got an upgrade for Christmas with a aorus elite ax b650 motherboard, 7800 x3d, and 32 gb ddr5. I'm not rich but we are close to rich and very well off. sorry you can't afford it but I hope you get enough money soon.

Printed only plate 6 and 7 of this on both a Bambu A1 and P1S as I'm testing for my own PC case design. Plate 6 was printed on the A1 and Plate 7 on the P1S. The A1 was using some 'eSun basic white PLA', and the P1s was using 'Bambu Labs PLA basic'. The A1 profile worked like a charm with no issues. First layer in particular was very good, and the top layer turned out better than I expected. On the other hand, the P1S profile had some issues. For starters, the print overlapped with the purge line which caused adhesion issues, and some of the holes didn't stick correctly onto the plate (admittedly, this might just be a printer issue and not an issue with the profile itself. I'll have to do some further testing). Despite those issues, the first layers turned out great. Overall, a good print to do if you've got some spare pc parts kicking about. looking forward to print out the rest.

Thanks for your feedback. Print profile is already fixed. Apologize for this issue. I discovered that in the preview on the website, plate 7 was upside down. That's why the holes didn't turn out right. That's strange. In my local file, the collision with the purge line was there, but with a different body.

Thank you. I have a working prototype designed for mATX and ATX motherboards, and standard ATX power supplies. I hope to release it this week. I think it will be a new project due to the significant differences. It's essentially a complete redesign.

I appreciate your enthusiasm but ATX version will not be released immediately. It is not only to resize some parts. It is another project with another problems to solve.

Your project is lovely, would you be able to make an M-ATX version? I'm really wanting to print a different case for my setup. Thank you in advance

Thanks. This project is designed for mITX. Redesigning it for mATX would completely change the character of this project. I might add it to my list of future projects, but I'm not making any promises. I'm currently working on another open-frame PC project that will support ATX motherboards, ATX PSUs, and AIO water cooling. Just follow my profile and wait for new projects.
