A year late, but that just comes down to the fact that most builders use standardized equipment that requires little to no modding and is modular. Any person could build a system now and it wouldn't be terribly expensive; there's also upgrade options without having to worry about proprietary sizes, mounts, etc.

Well done. Not the cleanest work, but at least it is more relatable this way. Everyone with access to a basic workshop for an afternoon or two can manage a good looking mod like this. $450 for an SFF build with 4C8T and a 3060 is wild! Most of us won't get bargains like you did, but the important part is to show you don't need all shiny new stuff to have fun.

I did something like this with a slim profile DELL cheese grater - the empty cases are real cheap to buy. I put my own components in it and everything was great for a few years- and then the thermal paste totally dried up which caused the PC to shut down repeatedly a few minutes after logging onto the desktop. I had to go in and re-goop it. That's when the pain-in-the ass session started - all of the original install: - struggling to fit in the tight fitting MoBo - had to remove it and re-install it. - the tedious attaching all the I/O cabling - the tedious and time consuming forming into shape (cable flow mgmt) and doing all the zip lock tie downs for all the cabling ... all up in smoke - Had to it it all over again.!!! All of that extra work - just to get at four screws on the back of the MoBo to be able to pop-off the CPU Fan block - for the re-goop. Why? because all of these cases only have just one side panel to pop off. Never again!!! - I don't care how cool and sexy the old or new PC case looks like. If it doesn't have a second back side panel to pop-off - not interested. Great build /Mod you did there BTW!

I've done some mods in the past and when doing smaller cuts use a drill bit for the corner and cut from there . Use both hands on the Dremel, tape your cut lines they will be cleaner . If you have cutting discs that are smaller due to use keep them for curved cuts as it's easier to turn with a smaller disc than a larger one. Final tip and the most important use is a metric ruler and tape . The machine was built using a metric scale the fans are in mm it will give you more accurate measurements . Example the width of the two fans plus the gap in the middle it's easier to know 240mm plus the width of the gap over 3 3/4 + 2/16 + 3 3/4 =7 10/16 maybe ...

I did something SUPER similar with my 5070 mt. A nice little gaming box when it's all done, this can easily be done with metal snips too if you don't have a bunch of power tools, just be aware that front panel assembly becomes a lot weaker after you remove all that metal, avoid trying to man handle it after it's easy to bend and mess up the alignment (although that's not a hard fix) also be cautious of the gpu height anything above 115mm or so will end up interfering with the side panel if it's pcie power connection is on top, which is most of them. You can relocate the connector to the side if you are comfortable with a soldering iron and know what you are doing, but id just get a GPU that fits, it's much easier.

Well done! I like the idea for the side panel intakes! You can fit fans in the front of the case, if you get the Noctua NF-A9x14 PWM fans. They're really thin and should allow you to install them in front of the GPU. I've been able to fit a 3060Ti in my Optiplex with these fans in the front as well. I'd also get some feet for the bottom to raise the chassis up a little and cut a hole in the bottom for the PSU to breathe its own air. Currently, it's sucking in hot air from the GPU. You can also thread a screw through to tool-less PCI-E bracket. I put screws through mine to secure things into place more.

I think I preferred the hexagonal grills. Painting those up blue as well would draw the eye, and keep folks from looking through the holes.. and seeing the internals... Looks good either way tho.

Cool build, very well done! I know someone who recently spent around 1000$ on a pre-built with a 3060 in it, Insane how you end up with pretty much the same thing for 550$ less.
