Greg, I mounted a mini-ITX motherboard in a NEMA enclosure. I simply sat the unpowered board on the internal mounting panel, marked the holes with a Sharpie, then drilled an tapped for 4-40 thread (I believe), which was the thread of the PCB standoffs I had. I didn't need to make a PCI card holder as I don't need any add-on cards for my application. And the onboard video on the mobo that I used seems to work fine.
I've got a couple pictures on my site. Look for the Mill Enclosure image gallery under the title Micro Mill CNC Photos on the right hand side of the page. They're the last two pictures in that set. http://www.theblossers.net/index.php?section=15 Take care, Stan Greg Pettit wrote: > Greetings, > > I want to start by thanking everyone for their hard work on developing > and supporting EMC.
