Retro HP Mini PC Case - Retro Game Emulation / Home Server / HTPC

Bring new life to second-hand mini PCs with this custom 3D-printed enclosure.

This project turns an HP ProDesk 600 G4 Mini (and similar models) into a sleek retro-inspired console — perfect for emulation, streaming, or even as a living-room media PC.

✨ Features

• Retro hi-fi–inspired design that looks at home in a modern setup

• Front panel recess for a custom insert (I used laser-cut timber, but you can 3D print your own)
• Optional dust filter slot (print-in-place with embedded filter material)
• Fits HP ProDesk 600 G4 Mini PCs with i5/i7 CPUs

🖨 Printing Instructions

Can be printed in pretty much any filament, except the rear IO shield. The air through the grille will get warm, and may cause warping. 

I used PETG without issue!

A Note On Warping

There are some large flat parts in this project, so make sure your bed adhesion is solid. 

Use some glue stick if the corners are lifting.

Support

Only the front plate requires support around a small ledge. Use support painting to ensure you only get support in the right place.

Embedded Filter Printing

The filter is designed to have the filter material embedded mid-print. Pause the print a few layers in, place your filter material over the partial print, secure it with magnets or tape, then resume.

Faceplate

The faceplate component can be printed, or laser cut. You can also purchase pre-cut and finished timber faceplates from The Stock Pot website. 

The printable faceplate and .dxf file (if you have your own laser) are included

🔨 Assembly
 

Assembly is pretty self explanatory, the tutorial video will take you through the assembly process.
