mini ITX for mister FPGA with mt32 integrated

thingiverse

Making another mini itx case for my mister FPGA.. This time with an integrated MT-32. The metal parts that hold the keystone adapters in the IO plate are made by Lcom. They are kind of expensive, like $2 each but sold in backs of 12 or 25 as far as I could find. I chose to go this route because its less of a hassle that dealing with a 3d printed keystone holder which i did in my previous case. The bullet buttons are from amazon, they are buttons for xbox or PS5. Could just as easily use 3d printed buttons or something else. I did put light springs under them but probably wasn't necessary. I also super glued an extension to the button, one of the stl files. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XHFDLDS/ I used this case, i wish they still had the dark grey one but they didnt know when they would have it again. so just black or silver. Its an H80S model.. beware amazon and ebay list them but those are actually H80.. The S version adds 2 more USB. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000584505993.html Connecting the cases built in usb plugs to the mister: I have done two different ways. In my old case I used adapter cables which creates a giant web of cables. It works ok just messy. This time I wanted more space because I was adding the MT32. So I cut the wires and added my own connectors like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X85RBNK/ I used and MT-32 i bought from legacy pixels website. really cool guy to deal with. I got a bit lazy with the cooling fans. Previous mister used the built in fan bracket for a couple 60 or 60mm fans but i wanted to recover that space so i just used the holes in the case to screw a couple 40mm noctua fans to the side wall. I power this on 12v. with a 5v regulator and momentary switch board from polulu.
