| CWorley:
Any tips for mounting a pc in a cocktail cab? I know to use a free/cheap replacement for the pcb standoffs. Should I mount some of the pieces on the sides of the cabinet and not all on the bottom? Is there a particular type of bracket that people use to mount the hard drive, psu, and cd/dvd drive to the wood? Is it best to mount it on a removable piece of wood? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks! |

I cannibalized an old computer case for the parts I needed (mobo tray, I/O panel, hard drive bracket) and painted them to match some other components of my build. I used threaded inserts to mount the brackets to the cab. You can see the ones for the hard drive bracket to the left of the mobo tray. |

most of these cases are riveted, how did you pop them out? |

I used a drill... or maybe a cutoff wheel. I re-rivetted the I/O panel back onto the mobo tray after I painted them. |
