This PC case is designed to blend naturally into a modern interior. Inspired by a combination of printable vases and modern air purifiers this design will blend right in wherever you decide to put it, whether it's next to your TV in your living room or on your desk, you can print this case in any color you want to blend into any situation.

**[SOME PARTS REQUIRE SPECIAL SETTINGS SO PLEASE READ THE FULL INSTRUCTIONS ON PRINTABLES BY CLICKING HERE.](https://www.printables.com/model/1197535-minimalistic-pc-case-for-onboard-graphics)**

**What's the purpose of this case?**
This case is an APU case, which means there is no option to add a graphics card. The purpose of this build is a good looking case for those wanting something simple for everyday tasks using only onboard CPU graphics, or a minimalistic media PC to put next to your TV. There's room for up to four 2.5 inch SSD drives which is ideal for those who want to use it as a small storage server or to store tons of media. 

**What components should I put in this PC case?**
This project works great with APU's like the Ryzen 8700G (AM5-socket). (I'm using the older generation Ryzen 5700G for my build in the video).

**PC components this case can hold:**
- Mini ITX motherboard and a suitable CPU.
- CPU air coolers up to 70mm (designed around the super quiet Noctua NH-L12S)
- SFX power supply (SFX-L is not tested, therefore I can not guarantee fit)
- Up to four 2.5 inch SATA SSD drives OR one 3.5" HDD + one 2.5 inch SATA SSD.
- One 120mm computer fan (up to 25mm thickness).

**Parts required to build this case:**
- M3 threaded inserts (4.6mm OD).
- M3x10mm screws.
- 12mm power button.
- 4x PC fan screws (usually comes with your fan when you buy it)
- 4x #6-32 screws for the PSU (usually comes with the PSU)

**Materials/components required to build this case:**
31x M3 threaded inserts
31x M3x10mm machine screws

1x   PC Screw kit (for standoffs + HDD mounts)

**PC Components required/recommended:**
Mini ITX Motherboard / NAS Motherboard (ITX form factor)
SFX or SFX-L Power supply
Single slot PCIe expansion card of your choice. (optional)
2x Slim 92mm PC fans (up to 22mm thick)
3.5" HDDs (Up to 6x)
2.5" SSDs (Up to 3x)
SATA power and SATA cables with 90 degree connectors (due to limited clearance)
12mm Power Button

**Designed with easy, clean cable management in mind. **

90 degree, flat/flexible SATA cables are recommended due to limited clearance to the front panel. The picture/layout shown above and in the video uses 3x 50 cm cables, and 5x 30 cm cables. One more cable is also required if you are using the last SSD drive mounted at the top of the case. (see video for reference)

Cable lengths stated above are just guidelines based on a similar setup to the one shown, and requirements may vary depending on your choice of parts.

**PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS:**
Minimum print volume required: 210 x 210mm
Recommended material: PETG, but ABS or ASA also works.
Recommended layer height: 0.2mm
Print speed: Not important, whatever is recommended for your printer.
Recommended wall thickness: >2mm (5 walls at 0.4mm width)
 
* All external panels (front,side,top,bottom,rear) are printed using only walls and infill (15-25% density). 

* All internal panels like the hard drive bay, motherboard mount and hard drive mounts should be printed normally with both top and bottom layers.

* All parts except for the top of the drive-bay are printed without supports. The one file that does need supports is clearly marked with the word “SUPPORT” in the file name. (Use custom painted supports just under the overhangs if you can, otherwise the threaded insert holes may be filled with supports that are difficult to remove)
