A simple custom box for a Mini Itx Motherboard

thingiverse

Here's a custom mini box designed specifically for my Asrock IMB-180 motherboard, which houses an Intel Core i7 4940MX Haswell mobile processor. This enclosure can accommodate any Mini ITX motherboard that utilizes a 12 or 19-volt power jack directly connected to the motherboard, adhering to the same form factor. A 120mm cooling fan is positioned on top (measuring 120 x 120 x 25 mm) for efficient heat dissipation. The case features two 3mm LEDs and a classic start pushbutton. Fan speeds are precisely controlled using Speedfan software. During normal usage, the processor maintains a temperature of around 40°C, while under stress mode it reaches a maximum of 70°C. Although I currently use an mSATA HDD, there's ample space to accommodate a 2.5-inch HDD; a dedicated support for this will be added soon. Due to the compact design, a low-profile CPU cooler is necessary. The print volume for this enclosure measures X/Y (200x200).
