Vertical ITX Printed Case Instructions

Disclaimer: If you don't know how to build a PC in general, this is not that guide.
I can't make perfect instructions, so be prepared to use some critical thinking skills
to fill the gaps.


Components:

    PRINTED
        1 Back A
        1 Back B
        1 Bottom
        1 Drive Mount
        1 Front A
        1 Front B
        1 Motherboard Panel
        4 Motherboard Standoffs
        1 PCIe Top Bracket
        1 Rear Connector Cable Manager (optional)
        2 Rear Connector Littles (4 if not using above manager)
        2 Side A
        2 Side B
        5 Square Foots (Feet) (TPU works great!)
        1 Top

    PURCHASED
        1 30cm PCIe 3 Riser Cable
        1 Power Button (16mm diameter)
        ?? M3 screws and nuts


Preparation:

    Nuts everywhere it looks like you need nuts, unless stated otherwise!

    BOTTOM
    - Attach 1 sqaure foot to the middle slot (optional, may be more stable without)


    FRONT PANEL
    - Attach the power button

    - Place nuts into the outside edges of both, and the inside edge of 1 half

    - Combine the two halves (2 M3x8)


    2.5" DRIVE MOUNT
    - Attach drives (2 or 4 M3x4 *LONGER WILL NOT WORK*)

    - If using 2 drives:
        - Attach one screw to one of the drives (mostly secure, but be able to rotate the drive)
        - Attach the other drive, you should be able to access both screws by rotating the first drive out of the way
        - Attach the second screw to the first drive, there should be enough clearance


    MOTHERBOARD PANEL
    - Attach RAM, CPU + Cooler, etc. to motherboard.

    - Attach the PCIe Riser Cable to the panel (2 M3x8)

    - Route the PCIe Riser Cable behind the motherboard, plug it in,
        then attach the motherboard *using the printed (or other) standoffs*! (4 M3x12)


    BACK PANEL
    - Combine the rear panels using the rear panel connectors.
    - Only slot nuts into the small connectors, then screw into the little connectors through the manager or other connectors.

    - You may have to permanently bend the cable manager to get it to conform, it's ok.


Assembly:

    1. Attach the bottom to the rear, going through 2 of the square feet (2 M3x4, longer will protrude into the PSU shroud!)

    2. Attach the drive mount to the bottom (2 M3x8)

    2. Attach the PSU to the rear using whatever screws your PSU came with (I hope it did, anyways).
        The PSU is a great structural support for later.

    3. Attach the top to the back (3 M3x6)

    4. Plug in the 24-pin power cable. Attach the motherboard panel to the top and rear (3 M3x8).

    6. Cable management now or never. Plug in the 2.5" drives, CPU 8-pin, fans, power button, etc.

    7. Attach the front panel to the top and bottom (4 M3x8) and the motherboard panel (1 M3x6)

    8. Plug in the GPU to the riser cable, the lock it in place with the PCIe Top Bracket (1 M3x8)
        - You can use another M3 bolt + nut lock it, or whatever the standard screw is for PCIe brackets

    9. Plug in GPU power cables, excess can be stuffed below the GPU if yours is short enough, or wherever you can find.

    10. All that's left should be the side panels, so try a POST test first then throw them on.
        - Flip the PSU switch :)

    11. ???

    12. Profit!
