Looking for a case for a micro ATX motherboard

[BladeZX]

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

Has anyone used a board like this in their bartop?

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..

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?

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.

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.

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:

But these nylon spacers are available at almost any hardware store (i.e. ACE, True Value, etc).

Hope it helps...
