Product Description
build your own modular PC case – the teenage engineering Computer-1 features a DIY flat design that requires you to assemble the case. the kit includes every part* you need — from the aluminum sheets to an illustrated build guide.
provides a small desk footprint – the case’s exterior has a compact 7.48″ x 6.69″ x 12.68″ overall dimensions (with handles). if you’re a musician or sound engineer with lots of music gear placed on the work table, Computer-1 fits right in.
offers enough space for the essential components – the small mini-ITX form factor features a 7.44″ x 6.46″ x 10.85″ interior with 5.79″ width from the motherboard to case. Computer-1 has up to a 7″ GPU dual slot and is compatible with the SFX power supply format.
be the cool kid – the case’s CPU cooler has a height limit of 4.72″ from the motherboard surface.
be bold – Computer-1 comes in two colors: an eye-catching orange RAL 2004 powder-coated finish & sleek aluminum. both include robust chrome metal handles that can hold the weight of the entire tower.

Eric –
Beautiful design, very impractical
The aesthetic is outstanding and unique for ITX cases. A completed PC is very difficult to work on after it is built and you are certain to strip a screw if you access the insides more than twice.M3 self tapping screws are better than stock are more difficult to strip out. Also using Phillips heads improves serviceability.A fan cover should be included at this price point, the one pictured is a couple of cents in bulk and matches the chrome handles.If you do a lot of cable management (required for this case) there’s lots of space inside for a large CPU cooler, 2x 2.5″ SATA drives, and even a 3.5″ HDD if you wanted to squeeze one in above the PSU.GPU options are *very* limited, even a short single fan 3060 doesn’t fit due to thickness without modding the stock GPU cooler.This case is recommended if you enjoy a challenging build with a sleek, unconventional look in the end.

Good case⦠questionable design.
This case is pretty nice overall, with just a few qualms. Check VERY carefully to make sure that your graphics card will fit. Mine is super tiny and it still didnât fit, sadly 🙁 thereâs also no screw hole for graphics card stability on the back which is super important and is standard with every other case.Another weird quirk is that it actually doesnât come with a case fan, just a hole for one. I knew this going in, but that hole being smaller than 120mm means that you canât mount any standard AIO water coolers, either. there is a hard drive mount but they donât point it out in any of the support or help materials, which is weird.Overall, itâs a really unique case. The layout is kinda⦠bad, to be honest. Thereâs a whole lot of empty space in the middle where your CPU cooler can go, which could have definitely been shuffled around to offer more space for the GPU or more hard drives instead. Itâs small, but there are much smaller cases that actually support reasonably-sized graphics cards.Itâs also missing a bracket to add stability between the top and back panels which when combined with the lack of GPU-stabilizing screw leads to a surprisingly wobbly case.Iâd only really recommend this case if youâre in love with the aesthetic and are willing to take the sacrifice on it not really fitting modern good graphics cards and also donât care about having a lot of non-nvme storage. I hope that they release a newer version at some point that fixes these issues. This case could be smaller while offering much broader hardware support while still looking extremely cool.
