I am finishing up my Bartop Arcade and I have all my parts but I want to know the best way to install my motherboard.
I've seen people just use some bolts with lots of nuts to raise the motherboard up.
Can I do this without drilling completely through the wooden bottom?
The wood is 3/4 inch thick.
I want an easy way to have the motherboard installed so it stays still and is not scraping the bottom along with that I have a sound card and video card installed and the back slot covers extend below the motherboard so there needs to be enough room below.
For the power supply I just used sticky tape Velcro to hold it down to the bottom while the hard drive is upside down and held down by velcro to the top of the power supply.
I can always change the orientation of them later But I don't see anything hazardous about the placement I have currently.
I will be installing two fans to the left and right of the back to push the hot air out.
The hardware I have is not that power intensive so it doesn't put off too much heat.
I am using a g3258 intel cpu and an EVGA 750ti SC video card along with a low power IPS panel.
