| Tip for making a case from scratch Intel gives the dimensions of the motherboard's mounting holes in their product specs. It's a tool I've used in the past. very helpful. For example, if you wanted to recase a flex atx board, the dimensions of the holes are given on page 51 of this PDF maual. This is the board I used in the PC Mac classic mod years ago, btw. ftp://download.intel.com/support/mot...o/A0065301.pdf

| As long as you search their database for dated MBs, they have the hole dimensions. You can find micro atx and atx in other manuals.

| Thats pretty cool. I've never noticed the hole measurements for motherboards in the manuals. I'll remember that, because I'm sure there will be a BTX mod in my future where I'll install it in an ATX case. Now trying to drill the holes in the exact spot is a different story...

| Use a dial caliper and scribe them. Set it to a size, and drag the tips. easy.

| I wouldn't say "easy" but I get it. Guess I'll need to pick up some calipers one of these days. By the way... Who is still left in the contest since Cliff and PorPorMe are out?

| Also, never try to put standoffs into wood. It doesn't work well. You are much better off with an intermediate layer of plastic. (eep, i have said too much)
