Need Help

hmorgoth · 12-14-2001, 05:15 PM

I am making a case out of aluminum from scratch. It will be a 1'6" cube but i cant think how to mount the mother board so as it will be easy to get.
So if any body knows of any links to any sites or articles where people have done a similar thing it would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks Guys.

Hmmm. I think Brad was working on some kind of aluminum case a while back, but I haven't heard much about it recently. I'll give him the URL for this topic, but he doesn't like messageboards.

Here's brad's offical response:
"
'Rhombuss did a case too. he used a mobo tray from another case. Thats
what I did too. I am using a removable tray from a procase pc-8070 full
tower (I think thats the number). I had thought about making my own,
but
getting the pci slots, the atx i/o, the mounting holes right, and
keeping the
mobo in place would just be a complete pain in the butt. You might be
able to get one as a spare part, but I'd just buy a cheap case and use
that.

Also, my case is just waiting another pelt, after one blew up I haven't
done
anything. I have basically finished, it'd take about 3 hours to finish

hehe I was at work and couldn't remember my password.

As I said, just buy another case with a removable mobo tray, and steal the tray
