lol looks like a good hack job, but just note that plastic is great for electrostatic charges if you want some fried hardware Wink

Yeah, I am careful about touching my hardware. We don't have any household beasts (if I don't count my wife (..touching hardware...? I'll have to think more on that one)) and I use a antistatic bracelet and do my best to discharge anything that might be on me before tinkering. It's helped that we've also had decent relative humidity. I kinda took a few pages out of this book:

And Slush sent me a pic of one of his rigs which is of the same ilk. We live in the same hood and its hard to find test benches or plain motherboard trays here. I just posted mine because it's much more compact than the veggie boxes we tend to see pics of on this forum. But isn't it really no different when a case uses plastic standoffs? I have read conflicting info on that subject.

Question:Is that an ASrock 970 Extreme4? Got one of them myself yesterday.

It is.

It's been good so far. My first rig has a 790FX GD70, which I wish i could find more of, because 4 PCIEx16 for 90USD sure was a nice treat.

Nice work!

Redneck indeed...

You should have seen it when I drilled the holes with the motherboard in the bin. Never seen a mobo rattle so much YEE HAW!
