Hi, I am beginning a custom WOODEN computer build and am looking for blueprints for any schematics that may be helpful in my build. It will be a mid-tower design with divider panel. I need standardized hole locations and dimensions for an ATX setup. I will be running all cables through the back panel and am open to ideas. I have a complete wood workshop and am proficient in ACAD so any file type or direction will work.

Can you help me?

There is no standard for a case as far as I know. There are standards for all the assemblies that go into a case like PSU's, motherboards, HDD, SSD, and DVD drives, fans, etc. So you would need to gather the standards for the specific types of components you are going to use and then design your case around those components.

Also be aware there are non-standard components used by some manufacturers. Using proprietary designs enables them to force the consumer to go back to them for maintenance parts. I quit buying Dell computers for just that reason.

If you already have the components it may be easier to just measure them than to track down all of the various specifications. And if there are proprietary assemblies the physical specs may not be available online (intellectual property) so you would have to acquire one and measure it.
