BladeZX Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I am looking for a case for a micro ATX motherboard to fit into a bartop I do not want to use a full enclosure case but I cannot seem to find a case case or tray for it and the components. I used a myopenpc case for the one in my cabinet and hung it on the wall inside the cab. Does anyone know of a tray/case for a m-ATX board for inside a bartop Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeZX Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Has anyone used a board like this in their bartop? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie_jones Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Why not just use some pcb standoff and leave it bare, better for cooling. Or find an old PC case and just cut the motherboard tray out and use that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeZX Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Yes that would be good. Where is best place to get them? I am currently in Florida so it is much easier for me to get them as I live in Canada. Is there any sites you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trublu289 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 It's easier just to mount board bare With screws to cab. And for hard drive power supply and misc parts I use right angle bracket. Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imy0urh3r0 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I have 3 of the boards mentioned by BladeZX and have put all three to great use. I have one currently in the Bartop I'm building. The board is sturdy and allows for multiple mounting options. Great for mini-itx's. I also use one for my plex media server which allows me to keep it hidden and also has a smaller footprint.

bandit721 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 As Richie and trublu mentioned, if you're buying separate components I'd just mount the computer parts to a wood tray that you make or straight to cabinet. The advantage of putting it on a separate piece of wood is that you can remove all the computer components in one shot. For standoffs for the motherboard, I've used something similar to these from Home Depot: http://www.homedepot.com/s/nylon%2520spacers?NCNI-5 But these nylon spacers are available at almost any hardware store (i.e. ACE, True Value, etc). Hope it helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
