With the advent of IoT, Arduino, Raspberry Pi and other various EASY-TO-DO digital electronics and buzz words, we've forgotten about the Mini-ITX motherboard.
This is an age-old project for me, which started before or around the dawn of 3D printing, and prototyping was mostly done with billet materials or sheet metals, which were too expensive for me at the time. With the wonders of 3D printing, over a decade later, the first of my Mini-ITX cases becomes a reality.
This is a prototype and has many flaws and desires for improvement, but I thought I'd share it anyway. This case is so compact that I had to desolder the audio stack to get it to fit. Other requirements would be to be sure to use short memory modules. I actually hollowed out a 1mm deep pocket for the DIMM to fit. I also need about 0.5-0.75mm to clear the picoPSU as well, but it's not too bad. There is about 2mm of clearance on all sides, so that's not much. I could close that gap up, but then the bmotherboard wo
