they are standard 2" L brackets, I got them at home depot. They in little clear and green bags of 4. I think there are pics of them in the general case mod forum, I posted a thread something like "Workshop Improvements...". Theres a pic in that thread of them in their bags, see if that helps.

As far as advice... wear eye protection, and um, have fun?
No really, they are steel so they are easy to cut with a dremel disk, and drill out with bits for metal. If you plan to bond them to another surface like I did, just sand or files the attaching side a little bit, clean it with IA91%, then bond away

Its funny you brought this up, I am out of these and I have to make the mount for the slot drive that just came, I hope they have them across the street atthe HW store.

cya guys in a few hours

Awesome, thanks for the info. I'll probably just be using screws/bolts with these to attach them to a wood base and then screw the HDDs, PSU, DVD-ROM, and fan controller. Seems to be the easiest/cheapest way to do it. About how much does a pack of 4 cost btw? I looked forever on their website and couldn't find these. Thanks again!

Yeah I would assume around $2-$4 for the bag of 4. Hopefully not much more. I ask because I was trying to do some searches online and were coming across many that were like $8 a piece

The Intelligence - Day 14

got the lappy dvd/cd drive and converter - som***** is tiny Back to that in a few

needed to add the psu exhaust to the back of the case, pilotted...

omg, what a massive undertaking it is to drill a hole ...

blam!

while I rolled all sorts of ideas around in my silly head, I mindlessly began filing and sanding the case hardware. One latch sanded, the other one was on deck.

decided to mess with the slot drive mounts, needed little tiny holes. the screws are ridiculously small, like smaller than m3 or 4-40, I need to order more screws for the drive from the mcmaster, but anyway, drilled out a bracket

started aligning it using complex math etc

then i just drew a line

and began cutting

finished the rough cut on the slot.
the drive will find the slot later, instead of the other way around


tomorrow I will line the drive to the slot and jbweld the brackets - among 900 other things

thanks for watching
