[PROJECT] "The Toaster"

[Capper]

Nate, just got this from Mountain Mods, they have been trying to reply to your inquiries, but they have been getting bounced back to them. If the below solution doesn't work, or you don't understand, let me know and i'll follow up.

We've been trying to send the OP of that thread some emails, but they are all getting bounced back. Is there any way you can chime in on the thread and let him know that they mount much like they do in the Bob Slay, from the bottom up. Page 4 goes into the details of mounting 5.25 devices. Only
thing different is the acrylic spacer on the floor of the case -

That looks to be fairly straight forward, at least to me anyways................;)

Yeah, I am going to go to that hardware store today, but it's really surprising that the correct screws aren't supplied straight out of the box... I guess I should be surprised, actually... this from the company that makes you pay extra for drive bay covers...

Ain't that the truth, I just used some old mesh bay covers I pulled from my sons TT Mozart instead of buying some that should have been included in the first place.

Thanks Rich, yes I do understand how to mount them, but what I don't understand is why they don't include screws that will work straight out of the box. I went to the hardware store and got some screws that work (M3x12, for those who are wondering).

Pics in a bit.

in a torture rack you just lay the DVD Drive on the bottom of the case that about it. its a test bench and everything should be removable at will...

in the Awesome case of yours a few red LED will make it a killer rig...

what happened to your test bench case???

Still have it, sitting in the garage. I'll use it maybe when diagnosing a problem, or cleaning out the case and I need a place to put the motherboard and stuff.

Here we go:

Hey Rich, I just looked at the thread again.
There should have been a pack of 4 long 3mm screws included with the other packs of screws. If not that would explain his issues. We can mail him out some.

It happens, and while frustrating, has happened to me with several cases covering just about every company in the business. Give me your address again, and I'll give it to them, and they will send you out another package of screws.

Nah, that's OK, it only cost me about $.50 at the hardware store, it's no big deal. Mistakes happen.

And now pictures.




Got the DVD drive mounted. I must say, it is very secure mounted this way.

Have to take this opportunity to show off my lapped E6420

Looks like its all coming together now that you got it all figured out................;) That going to make for one nice looking water cooled rig.

Welcome to the Mountain Mods Family and don't forget to submit it to the Mountain Mods gallery..............;)

Actually, I have a feeling that this build isn't going to be done for a while... I am COMPLETELY broke, spent the last of my money on the screws. The Yate Loon fans that I have only have the 3-pin motherboard fan header style connections, and the DFI Blood Iron board that I have only has 3 fan headers. That's a problem. So I was thinking to pick up a fan controller to plug all my fans into when I have the money like the Sunbeam Rheobus. I also have to get more Yate Loon fans and buy additional drive bay covers from Mountain Mods. Then, if I have the patience and the money, I was thinking of getting a Thermochill PA120.2 radiator because the fans holes on the front of the H2G0 are made to match up perfectly with it.

So you can see that it's going to be a long process. Lucky that my birthday is coming up, as well as Chrismas presents (money) from relatives.

This looks much better now with a system in it, I must say. A tad too expensive for me, but indeed a killer case. :)
I'd replace the fan grills though. Those wire grills sure work fine, but they're not very stylish. :P
