what to mount a mobo to

Pages: (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.

SithMaster:

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

michelevit:

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.

SithMaster:

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.
