Framework

Frame

For the framework I chose L-shaped aluminum profile, 20 mm x 20 mm x 2 mm in size. Here is the construction in which the motherboard will be attached. Aluminum is relatively soft metal, and you have to be careful when using screws. I used rivets on places which I knew wouldn´t have to be disassembled again.

Coming together

Psu attached in framework and parts lying around.

Components installed

Parts (excluding the GPU-card) attached to the open framework.

Closed

Framework closed. See the huge 120 mm fan on the bottom (right) and the inverter for uv-cathodes (left). I used little parts of rubber to isolate the fan from the framework so it wouldn´t cause resonating noise.
