Hey everyone, was hoping for some assistance on mounting the my mobo to the shell. I have a GB Fans shell and GB fans Mobo however I am looking for a simple way to mount them when they arrive. I thought about ordering the brackets from here however I need to be able to remove the shell for maintenance and additional electronics. so it needs to bolt on.
The other day I swung into home depot and bought 4 4in steel corner braces, and used loctite 5 minute epoxy to secure a bolt over the hole that will be for the shell (left the bottom ones as is) and cut them to approx 1.5in seems to be pretty solid. However this is my 1st go round with attempting to add threading without buying a tap and dye kit.
from every picture I've seen doesn't look like anyone has done this method before so I'm either a genius lol or it may not be the best method. my concern is uniformity, I suck at this whole lining things up and drilling so I want to make sure all the holes in the shell and mobo are uniformed as possible so I would like to use a prefabbed bracket.
Does anyone have any suggestions on brackets that work that I wont have to drill into possibly already threaded. and if possible advise on mounting the brackets in general? it would be of great assistance as this is my 1st build and I'm already over budget and have only sourced half the parts.
