I created a computer case to fit into a desk I made, and it looked fairly nice, so I thought I would share it.

The body is made of PLA, the diffuser from PETG, and the motherboard back plate is ABS. I personally don't trust PETG to be the material for a mobo back plate, but hey, you do you.

This case was inspired by an ITX case made by makerunit, found here: [https://www.printables.com/model/1372420-compact-and-clean-itx-case](https://www.printables.com/model/1372420-compact-and-clean-itx-case)

I designed this case with as much air flow as possible in mind. I used Chat GPT to work out appropriate thicknesses and air flow. I have been running this for about 4 months now, and I don't have any problems with temps, hardware throttling or warping of the case due to heat. 

Recommended print settings:
4 walls
4 top and bottom
40% Cubic infill

I have added a couple of alternate parts - a grill and a power bracket body.
