Contest Ended, Winner(s) have been selected.
Description:
Hello. We're looking for skeletal open-concept computer case designs with emphasis on showing-off the GPU component.'Less is more' to achieve minimal footprint during manufacturing - ideally restricted to aluminium cnc machining and bending.
Have fun-- this is a competition that encourages ambition.
After award, we will contact our chosen designer to enter R&D process with us + additional payment.
Example: please view below as an ideal design, however, do not submit similar as this is a competitor.

Optional inspiration: www.raindesigninc.com/mtower.html
Wants:
Clarifications:1. 4mm thick aluminium panels
2. If possible, please consider practical wiring channels for cable management
3. GPU will be connected with a PCI-E riser (flat cable), so can be detached from the motherboard.
For fair comparison, please utilise the following models in your design:
1. RTX2080Ti - 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/c4e12918-f09a-4af4-8a3f-100e07e51899/Nvidia-GeForce-RTX-2080-Ti-Graphics-Card
2. Mini-itx MB - 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/bafff50c-2ea0-4c94-b663-f01da1be2b2b/Gigabyte-Aorus-I-Z390-Pro-Wifi-mini-itx-motherboardmobo
3. PSU - 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/2d56d6ab-d1f2-4ab7-91a8-46e8c43fb6ad/Corsair-CX650M-Computer-Power-Supply
Don't Wants:
Boring, enclosed computer cases. Exception being that, the GPU is uniquely positioned and the rest of the computer is enclosed. That is acceptable.

Hi, Mochidudu!
Here is my final entry for this fine contest. I hope you'll like it. I have fixed all the things that you've asked. I have also added the logo you sent me. The models for the motherboard, PSU, GPU, watercooling etc. have been taken from GrabCAD.
The files are too large to put into one submission, so I will DM you all the other files.
Thank you for your consideration.

#1 GPU Centered Open Air PC Case Design - Draft
by GalaxyRobotics
Hidden design
This is my entry for this project. Please be aware that this is the first draft, and smaller details like cable channelling and precise dimensioning will be added depending on your feedback. If you like it, please tell me so that I can improve it.
My design was partially inspired by the Cougar Conquer PC case. My design uses tempered glass and bent / cut aluminum to create a very aesthetically pleasing and functional case. The sides are completely open, so cooling should be easy. The GPU is mounted on the front like a radiator, emphasizing and setting it apart from the entire PC.
I will produce documents like Bill of Materials and full schematics should you need them.
Thank you for a great project, and I hope that you will like my design.

Hi Isaac,
Uploading a design concept, I have tried to keep the design focused on GPU and keeping the design minimalist.
Do let me know what you think about it, so I can make the design better.
Looking forward to it!

#8 Initial sketch design 1
by TAC Design
Hidden design
The idea for this design is to put the GPU front and centre in the frame. There are elements that I have yet to complete (such as the retention unit for holding the GPU, and a bracket to hold the PSU in place), but these can be easily completed and other elements refined if you like the direction I have gone with this.

please do review the design so i can work on it
Can I know your company name/logo to add branding?
which are the manufacturing technique need to be consider.
any thing else need to be consider ?
how much complex the design should be on the scale of 1 to 10 ( "1" being simple plane sheet metal and 10 being complex 3D generative design only possible to produce with with 3D printing or CNC )

Hi Krisnaas, yes just mini-itx for now. Form factor is important to us.
hii
this case only for mini itx?

Hi GalaxyRobotics,
Excellent questions.
1. No multi-GPU requirement.
2. No, not necessary if open case. However, vertical space to fit larger CPU coolers is a must. (80mm). If enclosed, I would suggest simple perforation and a small fan.
3. To lessen the complication of design, I would say it is not necessary. If you wish to include compatibility with liquid coolers as part of your submission, it must be an optional/add-on bracket etc.

Hello, and thank you for this interesting contest.
I have a couple questions:
Will the case need to have multi GPU (SLI/Crossfire) compatibility?
Will the case need to provide cooling for the motherboard?
WIll the case need to have space for a radiator for an All in One Cooler?
Thank you again, and I am looking forward to working on this project.

Hi Mochidudu,
It sounds like a really fun competitions and I will like to submit entries as soon as possible. However, is it possible for you to share a more generalized version of the design,files, i.e. IGS/IPT file format? I use Solidworks for design and a Sketchup file is not supported in it.
Please let us know, if its possible.
Thanks

3D Product Design for Lipgloss/Lipstick Component
I need a 3d product design for a lipstick and lipgloss component that i am having made custom so i need a 3d concept design for the manufacturers to make the mold for this packaging. The shape of the component will resemble a crystal and very geometric. I will attach a photo of what i envision but just in 3d. Also the technology of the component is a push button pop up style, with a spring on the inside im assuming to have it released out and also clicked back in. Chanel's allure lipgloss/lipstick technology is exactly what im looking for.
This is generally everything that i am looking for but feel free to be creative and go above and beyond in terms of the shape. Anything geometric and edgy looking i would love. I want this lipstick/lipgloss packaging to be very cutting edgy and modern. Very out there in style and eye catching.
Just a rough concept design of the exterior shapes.
I want a 3d design that you are able to spin and rotate around to see all edges and shape of it because the design i want will not be uniform all around.
Thank you. Have fun with designing!
Small Animal Harness
I would like to have someone draw my basic cat harness for me with my very basic logo included.
This harness should be fully adjustable with a snap buckle.
The girth should adjust from 15 inches to 25 inches and the neck should adjust from 10 inches to 20 inches ( at the minimum ). Please note that I'm not sure if these dimensions are important as far as actually drawing the harness is concerned but I've included the dimensions to be as detailed as possible.
I would like this harness to be a cloth material ( nylon ) but I would like the strip of fabric that connects the neck area to the girth area to be a leather material because I plan to personalize these harnesses. This product should be designed in black.
I would like the width of the fabric to be no more than 2.5 cm and the thickness should be about 2 mm.
The logo should be on a piece of fabric which includes two paws and the words BOBO New York.
Modern and innovative cat tower
We are a small start up business focusing on bringing the outdoors inside for indoor cats. Indoor cats like to climb and feel safe when selecting a preferred level to perch at. Indoor cats like their outdoor cousins, need exercise, plants (especially grass) and access to view out of windows to keep them stimulated. If the cats requirements aren't enough of a challenge then the winning design must fit seamlessly with the ultra modern home interior. We invite you to submit your designs based upon shelves fitted to the ikea stolmen post, a floating shelf design or your own unique concept. Your design may be cat centric or multi purpose for both cat and pet parent.
