I'm using some higher GSM card-like paper (an off-cut from my photography paper rolls) for this, as it has a bit of structure to it so can be test-fitted into the case more easily. The one we're making is super simple, though, so there's no real need for that fuss.
Hah! I bet you thought this would mean going into CAD again! Now (of course) this is an option, and if you're looking to cut out some logos/designs or add other elements to your cover it's not a bad idea at all. We're working with a Cooler Master H500P Mesh here, which features quite a nice shroud that's easy to work with.
#Diy psu shroud mod#
Maybe I'm just being picky here, but it does present an opportunity for a very simple mod that can look great: Simply cover it up! Of course, if you don't have a shroud already, then you can use the same method to make one, too. Of course, you then remove the empty mounts and you're left with ugly holes and slots that mess up the look of your PSU shroud. Having a cover with loads of SSD mounds should make things easy, but often nowadays you don't even need those mounts thanks to M.2 drives slotting straight onto the motherboard. Now, on paper, this sounds great, but for me I just find it annoying when I'm not actually using those features. There's one snag, though: Many manufacturers insist on adding extra utility to them in order to increase a case's feature list. Once a very popular case mod, they have now made their way into the mainstream market, which in my opinion is great. PSU shrouds in cases are one of those current-day staples in the low- and mid-range case scene.
