Is it possible to manufacture and build a PC case exclusively by using American suppliers? With the resurgence of manufacturing in the United States, how much easier has it become to achieve this goal?
Project
Recreate teenage engineering’s computer-1, manufactured and sourced entirely in the United States.
Goals
- Case manufactured in America.
- Parts sourced from American suppliers.
- Open-sourced CAD and BOM so that anyone can order their own.
- Breakdown of pricing (teenage engineering vs. bulk vs. one-off).
Requirements
- Mini-ITX
- SFX Power Supply
- Aluminum Enclosure
- Flat-packable
As close as possible to the computer-1 without any branding.
The full process will be documented on this blog, with all files and resources available on GitHub.
