I am putting some computer components in a plastic type case, I plan on mounting the motherboard on a preexisting motherboard tray, and using a HDD cage, and connecting everything metal together.


Its a plastic circular tube kind of a case.



Any tips or anything?

well I guess you'd better make sure that "everyting metal" makes good contact with the PSU casing, coz if not and something short circuits...ah well thenagain, it's a plastic case.

But just to make sure...

Hahahaha..... ah dear, fond memories of $500 motherboards frying crispy black because of poor case design.

I am not making this an expensive computer.

I am adding cheap parts, since it is a server.


I'll post pictures of the 'case' later.
