Title: Are these the right measurements? Post by: ibrahim11 on December 31, 2013, 06:17:43 PM Hi, I was following Detritus's guide on how to build an open frame rig. His guide; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=29729.0
For the metal tubing he says you need 2x 8ft lengths. Because i live in the uk we use metres. 2x8ft = 4.88 metres. if i add up all the measurements he provided: Four(4) 18" length (width) main runners. Four(4) 9" length (depth) Two(2) 8" length (height) card mount risers. Two(2) 4 3/4" length (height) lower card support standoffs. Two(2) 2 1/2" length (height) upper card support standoffs. Altogether it equals to 139 inches. 139 inches = 3.6 metres. So Do i need to buy 4.88 metres (5 metres tubing) or 3.6 metres tubing (4 metres tubing rounded up). I specified to the people to cut the 5m tubing to the lengths above. Is that the right lengths? Title: Re: Are these the right measurements?
