The front of the case you see is the intake with a filter,
then 4x 120mm low speed Yate Loon fans in push-pull across a 240mm radiator,
blowing into the case.
I started out my CAD with 6mm/0.25" acrylic,Originally Posted by kgtiger
Congratulations Zads for winning phase1and welcome to XS.
With only 30 day to build you will have your work cut out, good luck.
Just a few thing,
For the case, I would sugest thicker perspex like 5-6mm.
Stronger and easier to work with.
Will the case have any air vents?
As the PSU has a 80mm fan pulling air from inside the case to the front, is the rad pushing air into the case or pulling air out the back?
Please don't take offence by this as I do look forward to reading your updates in the future.
Is there any chance you could hit enter key sooner when writing long text?
It just makes it heaps easier and nicer to read all you have written.
May your next update be soon
but after getting some sample pieces I decided to go down to 4.75mm/0.1875" acrylic because it felt stiff enough.
When you say easier to work with, do you mean it stays more stable during cutting?
The case will be vented out the back through the empty PCI slots (with slotted covers), through the PSU, and I will probably have to "skeletonize" the I/O shield for airflow to the pretty blue MOSFET heatsinks.
Also-
edited first post for easier reading, I typed the post out on my 12" laptop on MS Word :P
Not exactly build related, but can anyone guess what I do for work?
