| what to mount a mobo to |
| (1/3) > >> |
| SithMaster:
what type of board would i mount one to? i have an extra mobo and not an extra case so what to do? |
| forbiddenlyrics:
You could mount it to pretty much any board just use stand-offs when you mount it so that the board is not in contact with the surface. You could use Bic pen tubes cut up for stand-offs, just cut them to length and use the long screws. |

alright thanks. do all mobos use the same type of screws for the standoffs? cuase then ill try compusa. |

I just used a hot glue gun and tacked my mobo to a piece of baltic birch plywood. Worked great. Much simpler than screwing it down. I figure if the board every needs replacing, I'll just use a razor blade to snip though the hot glue. more likely i'll just toss out the board and mobo and just start over. I went ahead and also glued the powersupply, usb hub, and cdrom to the same board. Made for a very clean mount. |

what do you mean tacked? did you use tacs and just glue the board to them? well i dont have an cf and ide slot converter so im stuck with a hd but i was going to use a custom made part to hold it on. the power supply was going to be placed where one would normally go and im not going to include a cdrom or a hub. im just using the bare minimum to save space, wieght and power just the mobo, sound card, hd, power supply, and vid card unless i get one thats integrated but for mine if something fails but everything else still works id rather not need to junk it all. but ill consider all options first. thanks. |
