Hey guyz, long time listener, first time poster.
I`m seeking to build myself a custom/mod, something comprizing of a "container" to house 3 to 4 pcs, with some kind of shelf sliding setup similar to a desk-draw thing.. power supplies to one side, drives to the other, and pc connections all accessible from the back, re-located plugins and on and on.. with an ambitious adding of a 2nd-hand fridge hack/mod rebuild, beer storage/air-con... hmmphh..
Anywho, I`ve seen some US sites with the likes of Lian Li motherboard replacement trays, from memory only $20 or so, and I can`t find anything in the UK as an equiv. The make isn`t important, aslong as the housing can be ATX and probably slots from agp to 3/4 pci.
I don`t particularly want to buy 3 or 4 cheap midi/mini cases and slash them up, as firstly there`s enough spare parts rattling around the house already and something that could be re-sourceable in the future would probably be a bonus.
The fact of the matter is, I build pcs, fix pcs, hardly ever leave them alone, use one for media, one for downloading, one for gaming, and presently one for storing terrras. Jam memory in, switch cards about. They`ll probably all be replaced when the project casing is built, but I happen to cycle parts from the best pc down to the music storing one quite often. Somes the cycle involves the cpu+mobo. Hence the project idea. *which is in it`s formative stage* The easiest to undo cases/setups aren`t that accessible when your lazy.
Also sourcing a UK distributor of nice USB/Audio/etc front mounts which aren`t necessarily designed for 3.5/5.25 bays and a good reliable monitor/keyboard switch system - from experience hopefully, I`ve personally had bad ones in the past that dropped one or both signals whilst switching.
Any sources in the UK would be appreciated.
TIA

*P.S. I`d rather not have my pants brought down over the pricing*
