The ATX specification will have the exact measurements. You’ll be able to get the dimensions from that.

You can also find a junk mobo to use as well from eBay.

I am playing with the idea of changing the clear tubes to copper pipes. I still might.

For those curious on my the VRM Temps.

Here is the summary of my VRM temps: CPU VDD (Main Core Power) VRM: Averaged 58.1°C with a peak of 61.3°C. CPU SOC (System on Chip Power) VRM: Averaged 57.7°C with a peak of 60.7°C. CPU MISC (Miscellaneous Power) VRM: Averaged 64.9°C with a peak of 66.0°C. GPU VRM: Averaged 34.6°C with a peak of 35.0°C.

LoL, I get that and an espresso machine.

Yeah, so far everything seems ok, I keep an eye on them and I am looking at ways to actively cool it.

I had an old ATX motherboard and I traced the holes.

It is an oak veneer plywood. I used plywood because natural wood, unless handled correctly can quickly warp and or shrink. This could cause a lot of problems with trying to get thinks properly aligned.

Plywood is very stable in that way.

I would probably do a different stain, dark wood.

I tried a gray satin on the V1. I’ll see if I can find a picture.

Here is the back side:

Thank you!

It’s pretty easy to keep clean, just blow it out once a month or so.

So I have been planning this upgrade for a while, I licked out and purchased CPU, NVME last year when they were a lot less expensive.

I went in on a new egg bundle on the RAM so I got a pretty good deal there.

And the 4090 I’ve had for a couple of years now.

So when I built the case/frame, I did it over about 2 months off an on. I didn’t have any real woodworking tools. I wish I had a router, table saw, and drill press. So having the right tools would have made it much easier.

The cooling components aren’t cheap, the GPU block was a pretty penny, but for the 4090 is probably the best one you can get.

I don’t know if I can give a definite number but probably around $1k for the cooling, lighting, raw materials for the case.

In terms of a v3, this was a second version, I probably would use a different wood, maybe not plywood. There are a few decisions on how the GPU was mounted and how I have the PSU.

I seriously weighed just getting a O-11 XL, but for me, there were too many little things I didn’t like. So I kept this case.

Attached is the v2,

Yeah, I get that. It’s my lack of actual woodworking skills.

I didn’t have my notifications on, what Qs do you have?

LoL, yeah I can imagine. I hadn’t cleaned it before the rebuild in about 2 years. Here is what that looked like: 🤮
