The CameraCase RISC PC
(Click the image for a larger view)
On the bottom of the case is a sheet of acrylic bordered by L shaped aluminium angle to give some strength and a way of mounting the PCB to the acrylic and the acrylic to the case. The aluminium angle at the ends is bolted through into the ends of the case. (so there are only holes in the end panels) The motherboard side of the aluminium angle has holes for each connector, as does the case.
On the Acrylic is mounted the motherboard, with the aid of the alumimium angle into which close fitting holes for all the main sockets have been cut. The fastening screws for the sockets being used to screw the board to the angle.
Also screwed to the acrylic is the modified AT PSU. The PSU is upside down because thats where the screws fastening it together were. The PSU has had the exta power connectors removed and the noisy fan replace with the thermally controlled one. Unfortunately the PSU fan is very close to the two slot backplane card as the new fan was too deap to fit inside.
Finally screwed flat to the acrylic is the hard disc and floppy drive with the slot pointing towards the middle of the case.
The CD ROM is held suspended above the hard disc with a couple of aluminium strips and a piece of angle bolted to the PSU.
The LCD slots into the document pocket that's built into the lid. When the case is closed it's kept in place with the aid of one of the original partitions that came with the case. I was originally going to mount the LCD in the lid for normal use but it's to heavy for the hinges.
