I got an idea for a custom designed removable mother board tray for the Interdictor project (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3570). If successful I should be able to secure it via a few thumbscrews on the back panel.

I'd be milling the slots in the two thick bars in the front. The tray would then slid into the case from the back and rest in those two bars, though if it is too much stress it may be better to add a simple track instead of one bar. The assembly on the back will be dictated by need so what is shown is just a rough estimate.

The proposed railing would either be a grove cut in the other bar or be fabricated from sheet metal. I like this idea more than two bars on the end. What do you guys think?

I am a huge fan of removable mobo trays. But then again I work on a lot of systems and hate trying to maneuver the mobo in place.

I say go for it, sounds like a great idea.
