I really hate to discourage the whole hacksaw and dremel thing 'cuse that just rules but... yes the side brackets do come off. The left and rite side are lined with holes for a mounting device, 5 on each side. It would be very easy to make something to hold it up, if you didn't want to rack mount it. You could also just go down to norvak and get a couple rubber feat for the bottem. --------------<<<((((((0))))))>>>-------------- Leo Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 19 Jun 2001, Justin Bengtson wrote: > d00d, that's what hacksaws and dremel tools are for. the most fun i've just > about ever had building a computer was the failed attempt to overclock a > 333mhz celeron with no voltage control. we installed two fans, one over the > processor and one over the 3D cards. ripped up an old screen door to keep > the fan blades away from my rat (although he still found a back way into the > case... i'm surprised nothing bad happened to either of them!) great > blowhole system, it just never worked. > > now, take that case you linked to, grab a hacksaw and chop off those rack > brackets. then get some emery paper and sand it down until it looks nice. > make any other mods you want to the case (a nice paint job, extra fans, > etc...) and then install your system. wa-la! instant thin desktop that > looks way kewl! even better, get a friend to weave, sew, knit, etc... a > nice looking carry case for it. > > man, this is cool. i really want to be a part of this! > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Dexter Graphic [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2001 7:46 AM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: [EUG-LUG:1374] Re: Sleek model in *orange* from PC Power and > > Cooling > > > > Is this what you mean? > > http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/Chassis/SC811-SCA.htm > > Do those rack mount brackets on the side come off?
