Here are the measurements for an acrylic case I'm having made for an oil computer. If anything looks funky, or if you have any advice or questions, please post them. Thanks in advance. I'll go into detail about the I/O area.
Here's the measurements of the case: height, width, length, and size and length of the I/O area
Just pointing out that the 1/2" thick acrylic will add up to 1 inch.
Explaination of the expansion card slots
Sorry if it looks a little childish, I'm kinda new at this stuff, lol. So the I/O is the most complex part. I'm having it made in the style of an ordinary case I/O back plate. When I buy the mobo, I'll just glue it on and add some silicone around the holes (monitor, keyboard, mouse) so the oil won't leak out. I'm having the slots made out of acrylic (if that's even possible), or providing them with slots. I'll ask if they can make a small slit on the bottom, so it'll fit correctly (because you know how a piece of it actually goes below the mobo?). I'll also ask if they can make it the slots "slide" into the case.
The reason it's 8" tall is because I noticed some heatsinks (huge ones) are 6". Plus I need some empty space (can't have the case completely filled). I'll see if I can add a cathode light.
It's 14"x14" because the expansion slots (if I measured correctly) needs at least 1/2" to rest on (you know the part where you screw it into the case?).
The mobo's a standard ATX.
