    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.

    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.

    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.
