Day 7,8 Dilema
Ok this part took alot longer then i had hoped, i had to line up the motherboard tray with the stand offs that are currently in the Mac Case.
I didnt want to start drilling away at the Motherboard straight away as i didnt want to leave a bunch of random holes that wearnt need making it look scruffy and horrible
so i did 3 things to try and get accurate measurements
1) I used a Plastic transparent Sheet layed that on top of the stand offs and marked off where they were
2) I used a little bit of scrap wood and measured from the side of the case to each individual stand off
3) I got a piece of card board placed it on top of the stand offs and forced the card board through therefore leaving holes in the cardboard where the stand offs were
i then put each layer on top of the other to see if they all lined up, and it looked like they did!
so i placed one of the layers on top of the motherboard tray and marked off where each stand off is and drilled the holes!
As usual the holes wearnt where i wanted them to be :cursing: so i had to bring the dremel out and made the holes bigger. While i had the dremel out i thought i would make some holes in the Board for cooling and a little plan i have once i mount all the parts
Then 4 hours of flat filling and round filling turned out like this i still got alot to do as it isnt perfectly straight and i want to sand the Mobo Tray
Still got alot to do and it has been abit slow but let me know what you think what else should i do to the mobo tray
