Please...can you geave me plans for this case?? 🙏🙏🙏 It's a beatifull idea for mini itx pc
Best looking custom built case I have seen. Great video. Still valid 5 years later.
What a unique, elegant design. You took a popular footprint, and made something totally new. The contrasting colors go together perfectly. I'm going to look around this channel some more, and at your other work(s). You've more than earned this sub :)
BEST DIY CASE SO FAR, GREAT WORK WELL DONE
This is honestly amazing. kudos to you and all the hard work you put in.
I love the design. Very compact very easy to access. Well done video too! :D Congrats
I really love this chassis, including it's fancy color.
Simple but beautiful. The magnets feature is very clever.
Would LOVE to see an compact ATX version of this case!! Thinking on giving this case a go just big enough for my components, sick of all the bulky cases... Nice job btw!
You are crazy my friend. You did an excellent job here. Thumbs up for this great DIY case 👍
Beautiful work, design and execution. Thanks for sharing.
I would definitely by that case for my next Mini-Itx build. It looks so dam gud.
that is amazing. great work. wish i had the tools and talents to do something like this
Beautiful work my friend :) my kind of build and content, subscribed!

Awesome :) Thank you!
This is such an underrated videoGreat work, man
Love the Video, and the case is fantastic. Though i'm personally not big on the colours, but that's all about personal preference. Love the use of magnets, I've been slowly assembling the parts to build my own case and was thinking the same thing, nice to see it works well. Great Vid, subscribed.
This is simply awesome, i want more ! You just win a new subscriber !
Extra ordinary! I think if the total build is made of 2mm thick aluminium & use screws instead of magnets, the total pc would be more stable and for my purpose, I will attach a handle so that I can carry it, wherever I want. A portable monitor & this can be fit together in a medium size bag. It is definitely a far better & more powerful solution than a laptop at same price range. Great work. I think I got the idea to build mine.
You got a subscriber!!! I hope you can make more I'd love to buy one from you!
Stunning Work!!!
good job, I love mini itx builds
This is one of the best things I've ever been one meaning to witness. Nice.
Excellent and a very elaborated nice work!!.... You've got a subscriber.

Looks really nice. Probably one of the most polished and functional DIY cases I ever seen. On a functional size - and though it has plenty of ventilation - I would try to add a fan below the mother board... unless going for size, where I would remove the ssd bay and aimed for a smaller cooler size. You may not have notice it, but if you make a shroud for the rear IO, you can probably place the case with the front plate as the bottom or the top. Quite practical if you have vertical space but are limited on the other dimensions... Only more of a personal taste, but I would have picked light beige instead of green, for that classic (and questionable) noctua look.
Favorite build ever by far
How do you only have 360 subs? Great work!
Best DIY-ITX caseI ever seen. Please make a second one with more accessible materials and tolls. I have no garage and table-saw. I thinks ventilation holes can be done by hand drill. But I want to know if any other material for side panel which is more easy to find. And please share plans and dimensions😊 Thank you, sub.👍

Very nice build case
Great work!
wow, 😱i thought u going to just asemble this pre build case but no. It looks like company manufactured. 🙌Great work. do you have its templates?
You’re the hero we didn’t deserve
This is soooo cool, I would try when I have enough tools.
great job looks awesome
Fantastic work, I wish I had similar skills :D
Wtf your voice sounds like Hardware Canucks' Dmitri holding back a burp. You legit had me baffled for a sec, then I realised the channel name was different! 👌👌 Also I'd prolly back this as a kickstarter for around £110 depending on speed of availability and consistency. Loving the case!
Great works and spectacular designs congratulations I subscribe to your channel

Amazing job!

The best DIY case Ive seen You could improve using LP cpu cooler and PICO PSU
This has definitely earned my sub
This amazing thx you I like your idea
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice job, just imagine what you could do with a small cnc router..:)
similar to what I will make. good video & tutorial
nice video, thanks you for share
Incredible build. It’s incredible how you brought different material together. Do you have any plan for this build that you can share? Additionally, can you provide more details on how to create those resin infused panels?
Молодец парень,хорошая работа, и корпус супер👍
so impressive!
I would do things like this but need good tools - pity. You did the great project.
Really thoughtfull design👍
This is stunning! You should consider pitching your case to companies such as Lian Li or Corsair. I am sure that someone would want to work with you to mas produce these cases. Quick question, where do you get flax to make the side panels? I can get the other stuff and have things like a riser cable and power button but not the other one. I suppose I could always swap out the flax with another material but it would not look nowhere near as nice.
The layout looks based off of Dan Case A4 SFX, but that company charges an obscene $195. This video is a sign from God that we should all start making our own damn PC cases.
I would like to see a build with the same condensed idea but made for a ATX form factor motherboard
Nice work sir

Many thanks for your comment, very much appreciated.
Amazing work! The magnets to hold case parts is really cool, case manufactures should take notes or hire you! Any particular reason for choosing flax fiber instead os anything else? I am 100% sure that if you do small quantities of these you can easy sell them for 250$+
Finaly the video that i want to see. Thank u! U won a follower, and plz excuse 4 my english xD isnt my natal languaje. I only know something 'cause the games and songs hahaha
That's a great case. Even better if it mass production with metal plate, also low price :) .

Thanks. My focus is on natural materials but aluminum panels are definitely also an option.

BooTec what is the motivation for natural materials? At least with Aluminum it can be recycled, but the epoxy used for the natural fibers means at its end of life it will end up in a land fill. Fantastic work either way, you are an inspiration.
Amazing and fantastic final product. Where did you learn to make those flax fiber composite panels, is it complicated to do in a diy basement shop ? Thanks for sharing.
Great idea and nice wok with the design. The only thing that worries me is that there is alot of glue in your build and not sure how long will it last due heat in the case. Keep the good work!
Excellent body, no one made a collapsible on magnets except you, could not you lay out the drawings of the corpus gugl disk? I want to make of foam cardboard PVC, I'm from Karelia, I'm writing a Google translator.
very good!!
Awesome build! does adding dust filters affects performance or noise levels? Maybe you can do a Kickstarter for this case like those other computer itx case companies XD
Awesome case man, just wondering if you had any plans or pdf of the difference components that you can attach to this comment because that build is just awesome. Thanks
It's really nice. Can u suggest any aluminum router jig that i can buy {that can be used to cut aluminum overlays as shown in ur video) ?
Awersome work! I have some questions. 1) you just glue it, no screw in case? Except component fix. 2) do you have any blueprints?
It would have been good to see the cable management. None the less brilliant work.
@BooTech you should go into business with this case
Hello! I need help on how to properly mark and measure space on aluminum to mount IO. So i can have an accurate fit and good looking fit???!
Wow! This box is really very well built! I'm really impressed :o Would it be possible to have a more or less precise plan? I would like to draw my inspiration from your case in order to build mine :D
Can you please help me making the power cable? I visited the links for the male & female plugs. Still, a tip or two about making & connecting the whole cable would be nice.
Hi! I congratulate you for your DIY. I wanted to know if you made a file with quotes for manufacturing, because I’m looking for these measurements to make me one too.
Красиво получилось!
finally, i found another DIY Mini ITX case...hmmm... lemme shrink that case for mini sfx mobo... yes mini sfx mobo
nice!!!
The vacuum infusion machine link please? And epoxy? Or video on how to make thoes
Is put hsf cpu without fan will get nice performance for cooling cpu ? I'm just curious, cause i see this build without hsf fan
Do you have any digital plans I can print?
Can u make like this with standart ATX PSU??? plzz
You should make one with hemp
Thanks for video... Btw can u build like this but psu full atx... Plz... I want to build like this but my psu is full atx.
This case should have been put into production
Hi there. I'm making something like this. How did you get the dimensions for the component openings? Thanks.
I like it
do you have the plans?? the blueprints...?
I want to build this case, but a glitch in your store is not allowing me to :( I emailed and am hoping to hear back soon since I'm looking for projects to do during quarantine
