Stupid question

[Mr. Smith]

So I bought this case aaaages ago...

I've decided to run with it as I have a pa120.3/pelt etc - need the real estate.

It was second hand and a lil beaten up.

I was just cutting the holes for the rad and noticed the mobo tray, it has square holes.

How do i mount the mobo to the tray if there are these big (ok so they are prob 3mm squares but still) square holes?

It didn't come with any 'bag of bits' so...???

I'd supply a piccar but camera is dead atm...

sounds like the type of mobo tray that uses little removable mounts.

they are "sprung" in that you need to compress them slightly to fit them & they then push against the sides of the hole plus have little tabs to prevent going right through. e.g. beantech igloos have them.

Should be a bunch of em in the "little-bag-o-bits" that comes with the case.

have you tried places like maplin and rs. Them kind of mounts are common with with rack mountable music kit.

Cheers mate, they look just the job!

Bonus points for a linky to an etailer

How many do u need ? A whole mobo set ?

 

[Mr. Smith]

Yes mate... A whole set!

 

[Rastalovich]

Eek, I got 5 (2 like the above and 3 sexier ones ??) plus 5 plastic raisers that might make up the difference, they "pop" in the case holes and press through the mobo holes with `sticky out tabs` that hold it in place. Kinda things u use when, like XMS, u change-out mobos alot and don`t like unscrewing em

Wanna give em a shot ?

I can stick em in a jiffy or something 2morrow.
