I want to put some wheels on some new computer cases for easy access. I have 3 cases that sit under a bench (user + mail/backup server, compute server, occasional use "clean machine" ). Like all card carrying geeks, I sometimes roll them out to fiddle with them.
Commercially, I've seen "side clamp" and "X base clamp" wheels, both of which kinda suck. They stick out to the side too much, they interfere with opening the side, and the wheelbase is too short. In the past, I bought hardware store furniture casters and attached them to the case with holes drilled in the bottom. This time, I'm thinking about attaching the casters to a thin sheet of plywood, then attaching the plywood to the case with adhesive- backed velcro (no metal shavings in the case, no warranty issues). But there might be something better out there that I haven't heard about. Suggestions? Keith BTW, two of the cases are Antec Sonata Designer 500's, ultra-quiet and energy efficient, not at Fry's Wilsonville anymore, but shippable to Wilsonville from their other stores. They seem to be going obsolete, which is sad, because other cases are noisier and more wasteful. Sigh. -- Keith Lofstrom [email protected] Voice (503)-520-1993 KLIC --- Keith Lofstrom Integrated Circuits --- "Your Ideas in Silicon" Design Contracting in Bipolar and CMOS - Analog, Digital, and Scan ICs _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
