t_ski Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 I like the clear plexi (or lexan, etc) under the drives. I take it that it not only insulates the PCB from contact with the metal cage, but probaby also helps to shim them into place and keep them from moving? I love the horizontal bar for the PCI card brackets :beer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkyftw Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I have been thinking of building me a tech station. But I want to do it cheap. I was thinking of using HDPE. I was thinking of going to Sam's Club and picking up a couple HDPE cutting boards, cutting them up, and making me a station. Also doc, what is the specs on your station? Thats a sweet design. It would be pretty simple to draw that up on CAD and throw it online for others to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 well it's 14inches x 16inches....for the platforms The the space in between the platforms is....10 inches from very bottom to very top...so the corner channels are cut 10inches... the back rails are 4 3/4's longer to make room for the bar that holds the add in card... Now your specs maybe different as I used double stand-offs on the board...I did this so i wouldnt have to cut a channel for the tab to set it...it rest on the platform.... that puts the board approx. 1/2in off the tray..... I did get a single radiator mounted and a fan on 1 side and man is that bugger LOUD...but I put it on the 7v rail and that helped...so now I can add the other fan as A_G suggested and get water on this thing... I have to get a AM2 water block and then I am good to go... I have to tell you....I built this thing just because of this thread and the people who posted here...The more I use this thing the more I like it...In fact I am going to whip up another one exactly the same as this one doesnt need much improvement...it is very functional and fits the form I was looking for... Thanks to all of you for some inspiration... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnUnknownSource Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Hey guys, wanted to put these out there if anyone needs a diagram of the various form factors for their test bed. Could be useful for lining u those holes without bringing your $150-$200 motherboard into your wood shop, lol ATX V2.2 mATX V1.2 These came from http://www.formfactors.org/ and if you're designing a case, or looking for a list of standard specs, check it out!
