become the DisPlay case. Taking inspiration from optical tables I wanted to make a case with a Lego-like baseplate that you could build a diorama on. In the sketch shown, Each hardware component is suspended on a different level with metal rods, and electroluminescent wire runs alongside the cables and water loop to create a map of the system. The lights are color coded with each lines function; green is power, purple is data, blue is cooled water and red is hot water. The problem with this idea is that each hardware component is based on different proprietary PCB designs, meaning the mounting holes would not consistently line up with the baseplate as they are drawn above. The spirit of being able to make an art piece out of your PC continued into the DisPlay case, but I would like to create a universal baseplate that you can arrange infinite combinations of PC hardware on in the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1618187510154-P3ZS3F1GB6JU1M09XK06/Case%2BModel.jpg Personal Projects - DisPlay PC Case This concept render shows a greyscale model with neon accents of the mysterious door seen in the opening to one of my favorite games, Hyper Light Drifter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1618206043247-OBI2CZZVDBKYPWD9424S/Case+CAD+View.png Personal Projects - DisPlay PC Case https://www.zacharywhittles.com/personal-projects/floating-plant-fountain monthly 0.5 2021-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1617178152337-F4KP5PPMSH3UTIS6PDFG/Floating+full.jpg Personal Projects - Floating Plant Fountain - Floating Plant Fountain Inspired by optical behavior, I built this proof-of-concept “floating plant” fountain using a transparent tube This concept was inspired by the optical trick of vanishing boundaries due to a similar refractive index, for example how glass “disappears” in oil. By raising a plant off of the ground via a transparent tube, and running water up the tube and over the sides in a semi-laminar flow, light passes through the structure in such a way that the edge of the tube is nearly hidden to our eyes. This makes the plant appear to float on a stream of water. This small-scale model was built using an acrylic straw, an aquarium pump, and fake plants. In the ideal case the tube would be made out of a polymer that has a similar refractive index to water so it would actually “disappear”, and the product would be scaled up to support much larger plants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1617212050487-08SQO58IO82ATY2JOWMA/test+gif+final.gif Personal Projects - Floating Plant Fountain https://www.zacharywhittles.com/personal-projects/compact-piano-desk monthly 0.5 2021-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1617216838208-8MCIOWUJEFRT9B108QZB/Piano+Desk+Option+2.jpg Personal Projects - Compact Piano Desk - Compact Piano Desk To add a piano into a small living space, I designed a desk made out a wooden slab with a hidden keyboard inside This project was brought on by a desire from myself and my girlfriend to relearn the piano while living in a glorified 525 sq ft studio apartment. The goal was to create a desk that opens to reveal a small keyboard, so that it was a functional piece of furniture that didn’t just take up space. The keyboard was the smallest I could find that had weighted keys to mimic a real piano feel, and the slab of wood was a locally recycled redwood slab that I intricately cut to preserve the curved edge. Using wrought iron legs, the table came together nicely, and the keyboard inside is removable so the table can be repurposed for other applications. Due to the pandemic, this is still a work in progress as it still needs the desk top attached. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1617215288462-M8L1XPIO1O46H0G5F2I6/Screenshot%2B%25286%2529.jpg Personal Projects - Compact Piano Desk Rough model of the wood slab with the piano’s cross-section drawn on the side to measure out the inner dimensions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1618246149368-73TF137MC7JY4H9P5HSY/IMG_20210411_220927.jpg Personal Projects - Compact Piano Desk Early sketches of the desk with rough dimensions.

You can purchase any number of products and odds are they will utilize excessive amounts of plastic to contain their parts. This was something I immediately noted when I opened the box of the tabletop game Splendor. Disregarding the fact that each category of game piece is wrapped in its own plastic sheet, we can still see (image below) that this game, consisting of 90 playing cards, 40 tokens, and 10 cardboard tiles, is held by a box that is ridiculously big. But I get it, everything comes down to cost. The cheap option is to punch out a functional plastic tray that fits in a standard game box. While this may be the method the manufacturers chose, I think we can ask for more. Using CAD and taking inspiration from poker chip trays, I rearranged each component to fit into tight slots and designed the box to have a contoured, hinged lid, so that each part could extend higher than the slots and I wouldn’t need to include finger channels to help remove them. The one exception is the tokens, which I placed in 2 offset layers to match the height of the cards while minimizing the width of the overall box. Using recycled plywood I drew and cut slices based on the CAD model, and glued them up front to back to create the final box. My box is the same height and less than 1/3rd the area of the original, making (dare I say) splendid use of the available space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1617176285076-IE9V6P2NH4C82DXJCYHG/IMG_20210228_123823.jpg Personal Projects - Splendor Box Redesign Original box, all the unused space! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1617175637630-FECIDM8IUY913O33PBIK/splendor+box+cad.PNG Personal Projects - Splendor Box Redesign CAD model and drawing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1617175738930-73AO18CD4DFK68UQ71U4/splendor+box+dwg.PNG Personal Projects - Splendor Box Redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1617176798419-E1BR6HTNJEFPZ6K19DS7/IMG_20210308_232959.jpg Personal Projects - Splendor Box Redesign Plywood slices before cutting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1617175505842-B0ULGUGC5URDZWRH8U80/splendor+top.jpg Personal Projects - Splendor Box Redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1617175483178-OZE78C53LX3DBMUTL6LH/splendor+side.jpg Personal Projects - Splendor Box Redesign https://www.zacharywhittles.com/personal-projects/display-pc-case-v2 monthly 0.5 2024-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/8a1141b0-e88a-40a6-9b9f-21e97e2a6f7f/DisPlay+Case+Slim+No+Feet+Gotham+Variant+v7+3.jpg Personal Projects - DisPlay PC Case v2 - DisPlay Case v2 - Compact and Powerful, Redesigned to Foster Creativity Using the Original DisPlay Case as a template, I redesigned the product with both accessibility and adaptability in mind Utilizing the same footprint, the updated case will allow more flexibility in both the computer components that can be used internally and the dioramas that can be displayed externally https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/5126eafa-b3a8-4d5f-8ce4-6d39c7150ffc/DisPlay+Case+Slim+No+Feet+Gotham+Variant+v7+1.jpg Personal Projects - DisPlay PC Case v2 - Make it stand out The shown concept is a “Gotham City” themed build using a custom power button and a publicly available CAD model. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/9a8132df-8a85-438c-8452-8d728c1a710b/DisPlay+Case+Slim+No+Feet+v12+6.jpg Personal Projects - DisPlay PC Case v2 - Make it stand out The top of the case also has an updated connection mechanism.

The magnets were strong enough that everything was kept in place, even during freight shipping from coast to coast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/28c9cc5c-f059-4a93-a269-86cc65eaf453/IMG_20210913_194135.jpg Professional PC Builds - Battleship PC - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/ad71adbb-a015-4413-86cd-d0be038be2bb/IMG_20210716_172122__01.jpg Professional PC Builds - Battleship PC - Make it stand out I designed and 3D printed mounting plates that fit into the previously cut holes, and secured all the parts in place with glue and fasteners to make sure everything would fit as intended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/5d8f39b1-9938-4d27-9241-002357071b2a/PXL_20211105_031807317.jpg Professional PC Builds - Battleship PC - Make it stand out To save on time and labor, I opted to completely build the model, minus the brass accents, then paint and weather it all at once, adding the metal pieces after. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1c674f08-d017-4679-aec4-f431538eed4b/IMG_20210826_142822.jpg Professional PC Builds - Battleship PC - Make it stand out Because the PC vented from the bottom, I needed to raise the ship off the ground by a couple inches. To do this I CNC’ed a simple base and support pillars out of a walnut board, and fixed the hull of the ship down onto the supports. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/eee5c016-8341-4ba7-be7c-a361632175b4/PXL_20211117_021610386.jpg Professional PC Builds - Battleship PC - Make it stand out To add a little extra flare to the case, I wired individual LEDs to all the movable turrets and smokestacks, and routed the cables to plug into the PC components so that the user can program the lighting effects that they want. https://www.zacharywhittles.com/professional-pc-builds/fantasy monthly 0.5 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/1651007662216-UWQC3YGM95POG1UK367T/Actually+Esfand.png Professional PC Builds - Fantasy Double PC A client with a background in fantasy games wanted a maneuverable PC case able to house two full-sized rigs, themed after a fantasy chest. The final product was around 150lbs, but designed so that the left and right sides could separate and extra handles could be attached for easier moving. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/d2c7050b-3872-42c9-81cb-74e4e8e92183/IMG_20210909_143249.jpg Professional PC Builds - Fantasy Double PC - Make it stand out To make the design process quicker, I opted to use two off-the-shelf flat cases, and build the enclosure around those. To reduce weight in the final product I removed all the hardware from the frames that wasn’t necessary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/85f8a328-58f0-4510-98e6-299385643030/IMG_20211022_154717+%282%29.jpg Professional PC Builds - Fantasy Double PC - Make it stand out Each enclosure was designed around 4 2040 extrusions that all 6 panels could wrap around. Once the design was approved I sourced the material and got the panels laser cut and powder coated. After assembling the frames, I designed, printed and painted the logo shield that is displayed on the front and the swords that are hung on the sides. I wanted the swords to be removable so I engineered a magnetic holder so they can be detached and reattached at will. The last step was to cut and stitch leather handles for both the case and the swords. https://www.zacharywhittles.com/professional-pc-builds/terminator monthly 0.5 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/f32db643-6bfa-48a5-b3ff-01d23adf4caa/Esfand.png Professional PC Builds - Terminator PC Using an off-the-shelf Terminator head replica, I was able to create a Terminator themed PC for a client fairly quickly and easily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/b66e32d1-ff83-4c1a-adec-3d1e309e9bae/IMG_20211008_181807+%282%29.jpg Professional PC Builds - Terminator PC - Make it stand out To match the case to the Terminator skull, I painted and weathered the existing frame, then stuck metallic vinyl over all the logos and repeated the process. The skull had internal electronics and LEDs that I wanted to utilize so I designed and printed a mount with conductive pads that could interface with the existing screw holes on the case. The mount was wired back to the PC components, delivering power from a USB power line. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/88d39d69-e790-4ae3-b3a2-b4d16a21dbde/IMG_20210930_163802+%282%29.jpg Professional PC Builds - Terminator PC - Make it stand out The 3D printed mount was not strong enough to hold the weight of the skull by itself, so to reinforce it I cut and bent a metal bar to hold it against the case. I used this image to reference the curve of the bar when updating the 3D model of the mount, so the mount would follow the contour of the bar. https://www.zacharywhittles.com/professional-pc-builds/ram monthly 0.5 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/8f97f05f-1cee-4936-b6e4-ee9fd59e3ace/unnamed.png Professional PC Builds - Ram Plush PC A client requested a PC that looked like a specific stuffed animal ram, so I opted to use a cylindrical PC case and cover the body in fur fabric, making sure to keep all ventilation clear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604199fde851e139836c8b78/025d713f-aa1b-4f84-873e-9b87d4e61ac5/unnamed+%281%29.png Professional PC Builds - Ram Plush PC - Make it stand out This was the reference I was basing the build off of.
