I have a Corsair 750D and it's longer then the case space in my desk, so the back feet sat in the space and the front were on the floor which is roughly a 25mm drop. The whole case was resting at an angle.
Propping a book underneath would solve the problem but this is Overclockers, I needed to overclock the solution [insert Guile's Theme]
Fortunately I work in such a place I could engineer such a solution. I wanted to take pictures of the machinery used.. maybe I'll take pictures tomorrow morning. For now I have pictures of the result of my creation!
Step 1: We have a Trumpf TruPunch at work, a machine for punching sheet metal. I gave the programmer and operator the measurements for my Step and within an hour he had it programmed and punched. It's made of 2mm thick mild steel.
Step 2: I linished and sanded the material, smoothing down the edges preparing for step 5.
Step 3: I gave the material to the operator and programmer of the, Amada metal bending machine. He put two 25mm bends on each end of the material, giving it the final shape.
Step 4: Over to the pillar drill, this part I could do myself. A simple hole into the 1 of the bends. I think I used a 5.5mm jobber. Size wasn't important as this is another prep step for step 5.
Step 5: The twice alluded to step 5! Step 5 is a walk across the factory to the paint shop where my step was to be sprayed black. A hook put through the hole I drilled at step 4 so it can be hung to be sprayed and put through the oven.
All that is left is to show this bad boy off, the fruit of my labour and my pals at work.
Picture 1, an overall look of the Step.
Picture 2, a side view of the Step in action.
Picture 3, a front view of the Step in action.
A very simple job in all honesty, and very over produced
nothing but the best will do! the overall specs are 280mm width, 51mm depth and 25mm height.
