It has some ventilation at the top, right? For some better cooling you could also add some ventilation at the bottom and make some "legs" for the case so it's a bit higher

#

Also really cool case

#

So some ventilation in the floor of the case and having the case suspended. Good idea. What material do you think for the legs? More bamboo to tie in with the rest of the build?

oh lol, right

spring path
#

would be good to get a look inside the case to see how exactly the components are arranged.

#

right now there seems to be only one perforated side - wont get airflow through the case that way.

#

And it’s at the top of the case where hot air would exit

#

Maybe have intake on every side panel and hope it doesn’t get sucked up at the top?

#

Or js a really low rpm out take fan lol

#

Or none at all honestly since the hot air will go out there by nature

rose garnet
#

yeah but no cold air coming in

#

Do you think one intake and one outtake fan on top would work. I do have another fan grill area which I can use on one of the sides

#

This is from the inside

#

I was thinking of attaching the fan by screwing from exterior facing inwards into the fan

#

It can have 2x 120mm on the top, or a big 200mm

#

And then there's that grill on the side which I can use for 120mm

generally want more intake than exhaust. problem with top intake is that it multiplies dust falling by gravity getting sucked into the system a thousandfold.

#

What if i attached a mesh material on the lid

#

I'll shine a light from above to see how it looks 🤣

I think adding a stain to the wood would be cool

#

like to make it darker or something

hidden terrace
#

2.5" drive mounts would be an easy add to fill space for the project.

#

And yes generally as much ventilation as possible is better

#

Would holes in the floor beneath the motherboard if it was suspended help cool it

#

So I'm not sure if there's stains that aren't oil based

rose garnet
#

You can try to make a ventilation thing at the side and add 1 120mm or 2 120mm intake

#

And then just keep top as it is

#

So the side would intake the air, and it would just freely go through the case and out on the top

What type of ventilation thing? In addition to the 120mm grill already on the side @rose garnet ?

rose garnet
#

Oh it's for a fan? I mean okay, I just thought myself about making one wall look kind of the top

#

With the mesh like opening

#

Depends on the configuration one fan might be enough, I just thought having a side wall like that with fans would look cool

#

As you probably see more of the side of the case than top in normal use

#

Could it be possible to make a cover-up parts that are wooden to go into unused usb port ect

Yes.

#

Also imo that 120mm circle could be a decent place to put an itx PSU on the side

#

But from what I hear you already have some other place for PSU

#

So that's just a wild thought that appeared for me

rose garnet
#

I think If you would do whole side in the top style then it should be possible, but also idk if that won't be an overkill or look too big

#

Btw do you have anything specific you want to put in it or just case?

next sedge
# slim orbit Yes.

Meh cool idea but I think that it would have cables in most of the time, like for power and the peripherals/monitor
