I see they forgot the IO Shield. A common mistake, both for beginners and experts.

My last couple of mobos have had them built-in, which I love so much it makes me wonder why they didn't start doing it sooner.

What exactly does the shield do?

Ah yes managing airflow is a huge priority with this build.

I thought it shielded the I's and O's to keep them separate.

Forgot to tape one of those big box fans to the side.

Air flow 100/100 Dusy intake 100/100

Not bad, actually. I'd kind of like to see a more professionally engineered case like this, with proper mounting points for the hardware instead of zip ties. (Oh, and a more easily opened side panel.)

May have some dust issues, yes, but could potentially be cleaned with compressed air without even needing to open the case. And you really do get massive airflow potential. And it's relatively lightweight!

This is pretty sweet for a home-made, budget case.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 12 points 1 hour ago

Could probably use some filters at least tho

[-] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

Surely normal cases have some kind of ducting considerations to pull airflow through more effectively?

Anyone know how you might get powder coated wire grid pannels like that?

What’s the opposite of a Faraday cage?

I'd still rest my coffee on the top. I like to live dangerously.
