K'nex Test Bed - Page 4

Tyreal · June 5th, 2006

I LIKE IT!!! Do you think it would be possible for you to make a spot specific for hard drives? Like slide in slots where it would be more secure and you could have a fan blowing air underneath them?

Make as many revisions as you can to this thing by this weekend. I'd like you to bring it over so I can do a short review on it. Bring your rig over as well so I can put some parts in it. I don't want to take apart mine right now. The wiring is way to complex. I'll post my review on the forums since it's not a real product.

I would redesign it to have the heavy components on the bottom...(top heavy)
With mobo on top, easier to change HSs and such..
Plus no chance of heavy comp. falling should there be a structural failure..
Just my nickles worth...

i did a small addition to enforce the test bed, but it would be very difficult and dismaying to completely restructure the test bed so that the mobo goes on top.

From the very begining, i utilized my bow-like architecture for the test bed. Now i've upgraded the strength to the same architecture (if thats the right word) as my latest bow. In my latest bow, which is now broken so no pics :( it would bend like crazy but it wouldn't snap. SAme for the test bed, although it bends, i am sure it will not break.

Just because something bends doesn't mean it is going to break. However, i have stiffened the structure just to appease the eyes. You guys are just going to have to trust my skill.

It's different for a testbed though. Especially if you have cd drives and a powersupply above a motherboard. You NEVER want it to be structurely weak or unstable. If it breaks and it falls, you are TOAST.

You say the bow broke!

Tyreal · June 6th, 2006

The bow broke as a result of child vandalism.
In the link Archilochus gave... that is the IDEAL setup. Heat rises so you've got cooling down pretty well. It's stable and solid so you have no worries.

So... say im standing in a high rise building, the floor is bending a good amount and the architect of the building is saying to trust him. Thats kind of hard don't you think?

Yeppers.
I know his idea was to protect the mobo from expossure.
Make a cage out of the sticks to protect the mobo from comets and such... it would lift off like a hat..

ok since everyone is complaining about how weak it looks. I left 20 pounds on the top part of the test bed over night and there isn't anything wrong with it.
