mounting the pc
dcninja:
I'd prefer to not remove the pc from the desktop and screw it directly to the wood because i'm too lazy for that honestly. I'd also prefer not to do it the right way with standoffs because I'm also too lazy. I figure the pc is in the case and I might as well just keep it that way - less work. That said... has anyone found a way to securely mount a desktop pc case (crappy dell that I got free) inside the cab so it doesn't rattle around or fall over if someone bumps the cab?
second...If I did mount the pc directly to the wood, it wouldn't hurt anything I assume? I've done this before with no ill effects.
thanks.

you could always drill a few holes through the bottom of the case and bolt it down.
PL1:
Lazy version PC mount = pipe strap + fender washers + screws.
Fender washers let you get the screws as close as possible to the case and still turn the screwdriver.
If you want it removable, use threaded inserts.

DaOld Man:
On the builds where I used the whole PC, I made a shelf for it to sit on, then 4 blocks, 1 front, one back, and on either side of the PC case. (low profile blocks, like 1 X 2 inches)
Then a wood brace across the top. This keeps the PC from shifting even while transporting the cabinet with it laying down on its back.
But this may not be a good method for one who is lazy at heart. ;D
