      Do you put your motherboards on heigheners?

      Just asking what people with custom mining rigs do, i for once just mount em om my plastic shelf directly with screws, however now im going to use wood shelf.
      Am a little bit afraid of shortcircuting stuff. Any advice regarding this?

        I’ve been using standard metal screws (for my rigs with aluminum tube construction), and standard wood screws (for the one rig I have mounted on a board), together with one inch cut lengths of flexible plastic tubing to serve as stand-offs. I slip the screws through the holes in the mobo, then slide the 1 inch plastic tube lengths over the screws, then tighten the screws down until the tube bits are snug between the mobo and the rig frame. It’s not high-tech, but it works.

            :D Sometimes low tech is the best tech. I saw your other thread, good luck with the new build!

              I just cut a couple of biro pens into 15mm lengths.

              I was gonna plonk them straight on the board but wanted to allow some airflow.
