For anyone interested in building my
Custom made wooden box/case
here are the dimensions:
Red: 4x Planks 48x3x3cm each
Green: 4x planks (legs) 35x3x3cm each
Blue: 4x Planks 19x3x3cm each
Yellow - 1x Plank 54x2x1.1cm = front metal plate of Video cards sit on it as seen
here.
Orange (small black line was a mistake and is the same thing) - 2x planks each side to support the yellow plank above = 5.5x3x3cm. These are located exactly 21.5cm from the ground.
Long Black = you guessed it right = 19cm gap
Purple are the actual legs and they are part of the green planks. The idea is that there is a gap between the floor and the motherboard and PSU for ventilation. Putting the red and blue planks (the ones sitting closer to the ground) higher or lower will determine that gap.
Not seen in the picture is the 2nd support plank at the back of the construction where the back of the video ards sit as seen in
this picture.
It is exactly the same as yellow above, but attached so that its longer side is vertical to the ground. It sits/starts exactly 14cm from the ground.
Basically you need one main plank with a total length of 4.5m and dimensions of 3x3cm or anything else you prefer
Also make sure where the big black line is to put some supporting plank for the motherboard or it will bend nasty. And another supporting plank for the PSU to the right.
The black thing on the video cards support plank is
Neoprene Rubber Self-Adhesive Strip.For people in the UK: Maplin has cheap
standoffs that are good for anything. For example I've secured the PSU with them so it doesn't move/slide.
And one suggestion: pre-drill the holes and then put the screws, otherwise the screws will burst the wood if there are no previously created holes for them.
Also place your video cards support planks at whatever height you require.
And if you would like to put 5 cards then you would have to make the whole construction longer than 54cm as the PSU in the way of the last video card as seen
here.
Any questions please ask.
