To set the stage I am sharing two photos of my “office/lab/machine shop”. I am very pleased with this work space.
Anyway I have started a slow roll case project as an outlet for my need to be creative.
The ITX Motherboard is an ASUS ROG STRIX B360-I Gaming with an Intel i7-8700T (35W TDP) and 16 GB of DDR4 memory.
I am using a Scythe Big Shuriken 3 Low Profile 120mm CPU Cooler. And an AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB GDDR5 Video Graphics Card - OEM for the GPU.
I selected a NOYITO PCI-Express 16x Riser Card 90 Degree Right Angle Riser Adapter Card so as to get the GPU card mounting down to the deck (see photo).
To get get the MB and GPU mounting height where I wanted them, I had to mod 4 taller standoffs (salvage from an Apple G5 Power Mac) down to 0.462 inches (11.66mm).
For those not familiar with my projects, this set of parts was selected with the idea of running Apple macOS as the primary OS. This board set currently dual boots Apple Mojave v10.14.6 and Microsoft Windows 10 64 bit Home edition.
In this project, the overall size will be (without panels and feet) 12.5 x 7.75 x 4.25 = 412 cu. inches (6,75L).
Some time ago I purchased the aluminum plate stock that I am using. The frame work for this system will be carved from 0.250 inch (6.3 mm) stock. As seen in these early photos, I have constructed a four sided box of the 0.250 inch, missing are the front and back panels which will be made from 0.100 inch plate stock.
Feel free to comment and or ask questions.
