Hi guys, I've been doing some mild to medium flavored case mods over the last couple of years, and have decided that I'd like to build myself a briefcase mod.
I have an antique(ish) halliburton aluminum case that's large enough to house my componants in the bottom, and the LCD i nthe top.
I've gotten around most of the issues I was wrestling with, but I wanted some opinions on the final piece of the mod.
I am planning on having piece of plexiglass mounted above the PC so I can put my keyboard on it. I'm thinking that I can dremel some air-holes in it, and want to put hinges so I can lift it up in case I need to do work on the PC.
Should I be worrying about static at all with a setup like this. Mobo mounted on a standard micro-ATX base-plate, which will be epoxied to the bottom of the case, with the plexiglass hovering above it?
Sorry I dont' have photos, and that may have been rambly and incoheran, but it's 4:30pm on a friday at work, so my brain is a little fried . . . ^_=
