As someone who loves building PC, I want to integrate the skills I have absorbed at Foxconn as well as the current CAD modeling and simulation skills I am learning by creating my own custom PC case, with built in anti-GPU sag and custom cable management. I am currently looking into design ideas and the project is ongoing.
The custom PC case project will be developed using SolidWorks for 3D modeling and assembly design, enabling precise control over component spacing, airflow channels, and aesthetic proportions. The structure will be fabricated primarily from aluminum sheet metal for its balance of strength, weight, and machinability, with selective use of acrylic panels for visual access to internal components.
Key design considerations will include thermal management, vibration isolation, and ease of maintenance, ensuring that both performance and usability are prioritized. The case will feature modular mounting brackets, removable side panels, and tool-less assembly mechanisms to simplify upgrades and maintenance. Once the CAD model is finalized, fabrication will hopefully proceed through CNC laser cutting, sheet metal bending, and powder coating for a professional finish.
To validate performance, thermal and airflow simulations will be conducted to compare design iterations, followed by prototype assembly and real-world testing with standard PC components.
