Project Planning To plan everything out, I downloaded the 3D Model of a Myvi and my PC Components from SketchUp then tried to fit the components into the Myvi. I’ve tried using different CPU Coolers and PSU as those are the two parts I’m gonna upgrade. After a lot of trial and error, the problem I had with Air CPU Coolers is that it takes up too much vertical space. For an Air CPU Cooler to fit in the case, the case would have to be much larger, which wouldn't fit on a regular desk. For the PSU, I will be getting a Fully Modular PSU as we have limited space for cable management. Throughout all the variants of layouts I've designed, the layout with CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML240L ARGB V2 AIO CPU Cooler and 2 fans will be the best fit. The case will be 574mm in length as this layout will have the best heat flow and dimensions. After deciding on the layout, I began by designing a frame in SketchUp. Like a real vehicle, this frame will hold the exterior shell of the car as well as the components. I then imported the 2D dimensions of the frame to Adobe Illustrator to print them out with a 1:1 ratio. This is to be used as a guide making the base. This design and planning process took me 10 days in total.

Welcome to My Worklog Hello everyone I am CincaiLah, a university student from Malaysia . My Modding Name CincaiLah is actually a common slang that Malaysians use which translates to "Whatever" or "Anything". I've recently taken interest in PC Building. Since I've always had an interest in DIY crafts as well, I've been inspired to participate in the CASE MOD WORLD SERIES 2022 by building a PC from scratch. With little experience in PC Building/Modding that I've gained purely from YouTube videos, I still have a lot to learn in the world of pc building. Nonetheless, I'll be giving the best I have in this series. Wish Me Luck. My current PC is a mini-ITX PC. Despite having decent hardware, its performance suffers from thermal throttling due to bad airflow. So, my plan for this project is to build a PC case with better airflow and an improved cooling system. One of the challenges I’ve set for myself is to improve the overall performance of the pc while also keeping the cost of the project as low as possible. Therefore, apart from the cooling upgrades, most of the components will be reused from the current PC. This Project also does not have any sponsor. The design of this PC case will be based on a car, the Perodua Myvi. What is a Myvi? Myvi is a car model manufactured by Perodua, Malaysia's largest car manufacturer. Myvi shares the same exterior design as the Toyota Passo as well as the Daihatsu Sirion. But why the Myvi? Well, here in Malaysia the Myvi has earned the nickname “King of The Road”. This nickname came with a good reason as Myvis are often seen achieving seemingly impossible feats. From driving through floods like a submarine to flying across large drainage canals, the Myvi has done it all. Being a small hatchback, the Myvi has earned a reputation for being small but mighty which is why I have chosen the Myvi as the design for the case. Despite having ITX size and low-profile components, this PC is not one to be looked down upon. The Myvi design symbolises the small but mighty attitude, and showcases one of the most iconic parts of Malaysia to the world. Hardware Specifications These are the hardware that I am using for this Project.
