This is my first
concept PC Case. I call it the Wind Tunnel I. The idea behind this
case is to isolate the two hottest components of the system, the PSU
and CPU in different air circulation zones.



Since the PSU is not heat critical and already had a fan on it, it
will provide enough airflow for the drive side of the case.

For the mainboard side however, maximum airflow is critical. So up
front are 3 x 120mm fan slots (I still am in the process of finding
three of these, please email me if you would like to donate some high
cfm 120mm fans) to push 300-400cfm into the case. This bay is recessed
to allow for a full length air filter in front of the fans (need some
material for this too). Then in the rear there is an open bay area
for expansion cards to allow air to escape, as well as two 80mm fans
to assist the CPU heat out.



I will be adding two more 80mm fans in the video card area on the
left side panel when I build the final unit.



This design is currently patent pending, so if anyone would be interested
in manufacturing this case design, please contact me.

Comparison to a standard mid-tower atx chassis. WT1 is approx 2250ci, Standard is approx 1975ci. WT1 only weighs approximately 8 pounds, standard case in excess of 25 pounds. WT1 dimensions are 15×15x10.5"	Here you can get an angled look at the case, note that the cdrom bay area has room for expansion for up to 3 more devices.
You can see the thumbscrews for the hard drive cage, exhaust holes, and ports.	Big arse 120mm fan holes begging to be filled
Now one can see why this works, no messy cables, no other devices to block airflow.	And on this side we again see no mess, no fuss, and plenty of room to expand. (HINT Watercooling, radiator cooled by 300cfm of air, reservoir and pump on this side, BLING)
Hard drive cage, able to hold 3 hard drives.	Very simple and effective cable routing.
