It's a simple LED holder for the North (non-XL) PC case by Fractal Design. It's meant to fit between the lower platform (that houses the power supply and any drives) and the outer panel of the case, covering the original Fractal logo (so I added one to this model) and fitting snugly between the rear cover extrusions and the separate front-side panel. Holds a standard 10mm LED strip, angled up to face the motherboard.

I've only test-fit this with the glass-side case; I have no idea if it will fit with the mesh side, but you probably don't need LED strips in that case anyway. 😉

I printed this oriented with the LED-strip-face aimed down on the bed (and the long portion, with normal supports for the LED strip area, which gave a nice surface finish on the exposed side with the logo. You probably want to keep light transmission in mind when considering what filament and infill to use; the LEDs may bleed a bit of light into the holder, so I'd suggest either dark colors, or choosing a color that will be enhanced by a little translucency at the top. Pick your filament type based on the kinds of temperatures you'll see in the case; for some, especially if your power supply runs a little hot, PLA might not be a great choice.

I modeled this in OpenSCAD, so it's simple enough to remix to change the logo and positioning to basically anything you'd like, and you've got a pretty big wall there to get creative. If you want to use the Fractal logo, I got it from here.
