I ordered them separately which was a bit foolish of me. I have one but the other is yet to turn up. Hopefully it'll arrive soon. A single card seems to max out at around 72 degrees.
I was going to post this later when it was all finished but as I'm here, here's an update with the new stand I built which replaces the cardboard box!
Stand:
There's an access hole in the back of the stand to stow the cables, hub, powerstrip etc. It has a rubber top to it - the only way to shift the case is to pucsh it over or lift it up. It provides a fantastic amount of grip. I'll be fitting a couple of retainers at the back of the case / stand just for extra precaution as well.
(It hadn't been cleaned up at this point):
Dam I was going to ask you where you got that stand from until I read you made it. Very aesthetic! Do you know anywhere online where I could purchase a similar stand as my desk is too small for my desktop to go on and I like the look of your setup!

Thank you. I couldn't find a decent stand either which is what prompted me to go the DIY route!
Haha looks great pal! My DIY is shocking, might be time to invest in a new desk
New set up.
improved the cable management a bit with some white trunking, i did buy one of those ikea signum things but it was pain to unplug stuff the foot rest hides the worst of it. made the monitor riser / shelf with some ikea kitchen capita legs and bit of wood i stained up to match the worktop. might put a shelf across the back wall to store games / dvds ect..

How about buying the Alex 5 drawer unit from Ikea and putting your PC on that?
Be a glory hunter, pick another colour, change team.

NOPE!
I actually went IKEA last Friday and picked up a desk. Thanks for the suggestion!

Upgrade in my personal chair. I put on a clock and some pictures too.

Where did you get those headphone hooks from? I am in need of something similar! Cheers
Thanks, I will have a look
