ALrighty then i have all the parts in now for my server and have the case planed but need some hlep gettin it 2 work. FIrst problem is i have one nic that didnt come with the smaller braket which fit perfect in case so should i just use another bracket and bend and cut it or what. here is the main idea for the arrangment.

Need some hlep puttin parts in right place im gona try 2 use L brackets on the one side to hold it still but where the cdrom ends there is 1 3/4 drop to bottom of case the mobo is sittin on a tray of plexi with standoffs but how will i hold the case up there cant find anything that spans 1 3/4. I was thinkin bendin a peice of aluminum to make one but i dont want to buy any Wood is another choice but in an electrical box wood come on. I have plans to attach everything else but the mobo. Oh yes and here is the case my little suprise.

Took some work cause it was sittin in a garage for oh 4 years in the rain so it was RLy rusted. Used a grinding wheel to get most the rust off (the rust there now is cause i havent worked on it in a while and need to prime it)and did some work on the medal. I know i need to prime the medal that is easy but what color should i paint it i was thinkin bout stayin with grey cause i want it to look like an electrical box but who knows. You may be askin what is he gona do for a lid well good question the old lid was a piece of rust basically so it was chuncked(by means of sittin in the garage) what i was planin on doin was getting some aluminum corner rod things then puttin plexi glass inside it(im sure it wasnt a very good description but u will c when i finsih it).

Here is all the componets im using in the case old stuff but working. 500 mhz amd somthin cpu ocable 2 550 but y. 152 megs of ram dont ask how 2 sticks not wasnt my comp so who knows. 3 and a 4 gig hard drive not alot but enough for a server. old cd rom drive (only puttin in there cause y not not like space was a problem)/ Ps out of its case (those cases take up way 2 much space) i think its 250 watts. The os im gona use dont know i want to run a tribes server on it(my router is hardware firewall so cant get through it(the setup will be between modem and router)i was going to put another nic in it to put another comp that woulndt be behind firewall.but no more pci slots and ica(think thats what it is) slots are 2 slow. Another question can i use this as a print server bein its between router and modem. IF not i can hook another comp up with a nic and use it.
Man that was alot of typin but i think that was eveything.
