I'd be all for a case manufacturer to clone my design in metal but I doubt that common HVAC air filter form factors are the same around the world; you'd either need an oversized design with adapter plates, or many case size variants.

- CarVac 6y agoI knew the Mammoth existed when I made mine, but it's not what I wanted. The Mammoth is designed to withstand water spray and dust and still cool the components satisfactorily, while mine is designed to clean as much air as possible for the synergy with computer cooling. Additionally, I wanted to use HVAC filters due to their price/availability and large area, and I wanted a vertical motherboard like the Raven so I could access all the motherboard ports on the top. If anybody would do it, I think Silverstone would. They think out of the box. Modern design considerations would be allowing for top-mounted radiators on the exhaust side, and having the power supply attached to the motherboard tray so you could route power cables behind.
- Forbo 6y ago$500+ for the case, $160+ for new filters. Ouch.
- magicalhippo 6y agoWe got a stand-alone Electrolux air purifier, it takes filters like these[1]. Guessing one could find a really common variant. [1]: https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Electrolux-Carbon-Filters-EL024/dp/B0035H49T8/ https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Electrolux-Carbon-Filters-EL0...
- CarVac 6y agoThose filters cost way more than normal HVAC filters though. By comparison, I sourced 16"x20" MERV 13 filters for under $8 each from cleartheairinc.com.
