My DIY lasercut DAN A4 replica xD

This is very cool. I want to get rid of my laptop at work (cause it only has 1 video out). And replace it with something like this, so i can put this underneath my desk and it can power 2x 4k monitors. For interest sake, could you perhaps pm a price if you are willing to remake and sell that box/chassis. @SohailCPT
 
Very nice work! Would there be any chance of you sharing the design files?

Thanks. I will get back to you.

I'm not sure. I was thinking of just giving it to everyone. All they would then have to do is find a local laser/aluminium cutter, give them the files and get their case a few days later. The days or supersize extra large cases are over :p:ROFLMAO::LOL:

I am already working on a V2 lol. All dimensions which were abit off in the first revision is being corrected, along with a few tweaks.

 
Here we are booiizzz!

Looks awesome... what was the total cost of the build? If you decide to start making these things as a hobby I'd definitely be keen to order one depending on pricing and such [emoji41]

Dude,
Hows the temps and whats your spec in the end?
i5 8400
MSI Gaming X 1060
450w PSU
500GB m.2 SSD

GPU is low 60'c on a fairly quiet fan curve.
The CPU is still for the moment a stock intel unit LOL. Temps around 65-70c based on ambient. Hoping to have a new cooler soon.

I am already working on a new version of this. I learnt so much designing and making the first iteration.
  • I have reduced the length slightly.
  • Made space for a 92mm fan underneath motherboard :p
  • Working on magnetic panels. So just sticks on without the need of side or top screws. Should look much cleaner.
But yeah. The case is done for now. :giggle:
 
Looks good, I probably would have gone with thicker sheet metal. Nice win though costing wise it's a lot cheaper than bringing a Dan Case or one of the bespoke alternatives in.
