apu95:

well, as u can see in my pic im working on my CP. ive solved the wiring issue in another thread i opened (thx for all the replies guys).
im curious as to how to place the ipac tho. can i just leave it on the actual wood, and just securing it in place, or should i suspend it in some way?

take a look at this pic (sorry about the quality...its a webcam)
i wanna have it in that position.

thx!
Apu


Tahnok:

Wood does not conduct. I don't own an Ipac, but I would have to guess that it would not care about where it is placed. Just make sure you don't get anything in there that my short out the circuits (stray wires, cut leads, solder...). I would also recommend securing it to the actual CP board and not the box below. It makes it much easier to work on IMHO.

MinerAl:

As long as you don't mount it so that the solder points on the back are touching metal, you're ok.

Most mountings that I've seen use standard motherboard offsets.  I have used offsets and just screwed it barely-snug to wood.

Goz:

Even with it resting on wood, I'd recommend using PCB feet or the cut up BIC pen trick.

RayB:

Don't mount it on the underside of the top. If you (or some angry friend) were to slam the control panel in frustration (say, after having your ass handed to you in Street Fighter), the vibrations/shock is not good for the IPAC.
