Hello all
So hopefully soon i will be undertaking a project i have been planning for a long time but just never had the space to be able to do. I am starting to get the first part of the project into place and ready for build
first part is just construction and peripherals (psu,fans,radiators, pumps e.t.c) the second part will be the main components (mobo,gpu,mem,cpu)
i have a couple of snags that i am trying to work out.
1) If i use acrylic sheeting as a mobo tray with metal stand offs should i run an earth tag from the acrylic plate too the psu earth point on the case ? I know the Psu grounds the components anyway but for the sake of peace of mind is this ok ?
2) because the construction is a wooden bench with the pc built in i would like too extend the rear mobo plate connections up into an aluminium facia with the connections al ot more easily accessible rather than have to remove parts of the bench to easily access per say USB/Hdmi port. I am struggling to locate a supplier who does an all in one or manufacture to request. I can find single panels but by the time i add them all together the space required would dominate the bench or remove the existing parts onto my own panel but the cost associated with that would be a bit high imho
I still have a few weeks before i start putting saw too wood but would just like a few opinions on these matters,
Thanks
