###Why?
Worked out that I could probably print my own blade server case add my own components and be in front over buying a blade server from a vendor.
###Concept
- Modular - The case is designed so you can stack together as many as needed, and they can be secured together to move around as one unit.
For example... I'm going to uave 2 PC's clustered and I'm probably going to have a third bay for the power supplies, and a fourth for a wi-fi router (Which should still work fine inside the case because its plastic).
- Suitable for small printers - All the pieces fit in a 14cm x 14cm print bed, if you have a larger print bed you may be able to outershell a few pieces so there are less prints involved.
- Easy to assemble - almost everything is held together by nilon ties (or zip ties depending on your parlance).
- Takes a Mini-ITX board, which is about the smallest board you can get that still lets you fit your own CPU's, so you can still mix and match parts to get the machi
