for simple technical drawings.

So i need :

scales (showing lenght etc.)
simple forms (basically just rectangle/square/circles/ovals)

really don't need much more. It's for making simple plans for cut outs (gonna build a custom pc case).

I tried smartdraw, which worked fine, but it's DRM is a bitch and it keeps locking up (i.e. not working at all), because of it Smile

basically to draw something like this :

(this is a front mock up i made in smartdraw, 6 140mm fans , dvdrom slot and a panel for buttons and usb plugs ^^)

Incase you did not know Sin

What you should really be looking for are high quality fans with a high CFM airflow.

More fans give you more potential generators of turbulence, which can keep hot air from going where it should, lingering in the case instead of leaving. Less fans with a higher CFM will result in a much more constant and smooth airflow.

Look for fans with high static pressure ratings as well, you get better performance even if the CFM is lower.

you should try a project with a fridge for cooling with a fan drawing the cold air out and through the pc case, like some proper diy server room chiller Very Happy

found a version of smart draw (7) which is still working fine (guess because it's abandonware or close to lol).

Anyway, working fine.

Here something to give an idea :

front cut outs (dvdrom cut out, 2x 200mm fans)



top cut outs (1x200mm, panel cut out for power/reset/usb)



back (i/o cut out, pci-e slots, psu cut out, 140x280 fan cut out (h80i/h90i/h100i e.g.) thinking of adding small fans at the bottom (exhaust)



left panel (1x200mm over Mobo)



right panel (1x200mm)

Or simply buy a mini-fridge and turn it into a PC. Only thing needed is a lot of bags with silicon dehydration balls to dry the air to avoid condensation.
