Decasing the PC for a cabinet.
<< < (2/3) > >>
BobA:
If you are worried about dust settling or coins dropping on your decased computer you can mount it vertically attached to the side wall of a cabinet. 
Necro:
And it's pretty straightforward mounting it on a board. 

Not sure how in the heck I'm going to mount my hard-drives yet, but #6 bolts seem to fit perfectly through the holes in a motherboard so you can make up an easy mounting system for a few bucks for that.

I mounted mine using two L-brackets.
Visitor Q:
I left my PC in the case. There is really no reason to take it out other than space. I left mine in the case because it is easier to remove the case for general upkeep than to unscrew boards from blocks of wood or what have you.
CheffoJeffo:
I always (well, always since my second cabinet) mount mine on boards and attach it to the side of the cabinet, as BobA suggests.

I'm not using high-powered CPUs or GPUs, so it is mainly a matter of convenience for me -- I can pull the rig just as easily as if it were a game board, although I agree with most everything that Jack Burton says, although he is also known to say "Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me ?"
