Comment on Minimal Micro-ATX case for external PSU

For my ITX build I went with this open frame so I can really customize the placement of each component and keep everything nice and compact. I’ll probably build a cover to go over this frame at some point.

I really like the idea, but for my purpose an open case is a no-go. It’s for my Homeserver and I have two hyper active cats ;) but I was already thinking to get some kind of skeleton like this and put someone around. Is this applicable for micro ATX Mainboards?

I feel ya. I have a dog and three cats, but so far have not had an issue with hair or cable chewing. The frame is essentially just a kit of 2020 extruded aluminum t-slot rails with connectors. If I were to do this again, I would probably not go with a kit and instead just buy the rails and connectors I need for my specific motherboard/components. Also, any extra rails/connectors you get could go toward a DIY 3D printing frame (that’s my next project)!
