# mATX Case

This repository contains parts for constructing a small (~15L) mATX compatible computer case. It contains both parts which need to be printed, and parts which need to be laser cut.

## Motivation

Ever since I was able to hold a drill, I wanted to make my own computer case. Now, 20 years later, thanks to innovation in 3D printing and laser cutting, it has become trivial to build your own computer case.

In addition, I travel quite a bit and I wanted a computer that was small. Most computer cases are big because of the flexibility it affords. However, being able to print your own case, you can design it specifically for the parts you have in mind. That allows many areas for optimising space.

## Parts Required

- 12mm (6mm thread) brass stand-offs for motherboard.

- ... more stuff ...

### Inventory

- M3 x 12mm (6mm inset) brass standoffs.

- M3 x 6mm (6mm inset) brass standoffs.

- M3 x 12mm flat head screws.

- M3 x 8mm flat head screws.

- M4 x 14mm flat head screws.

- M3 x 8mm (5mm OD) knurled inserts.

- M3 x 10mm (5mm OD) knurled inserts.

- M3 x 12mm (5mm OD) knurled inserts.

- M3 x 6mm (5mm OD) knurled inserts.

- M4 x 8mm (6mm OD) knurled inserts.

- M6 x 12mm (8mm OD) knurled inserts.

- M3 x 4mm (5mm OD) knurled inserts.

### Power Supply

The [Corsair SF600 Platinum][1] has flat SATA cables and fits well.
