Under desk motherboard mounting system

thingiverse

This is a DIY project to install my pc under the desk, and I'm sharing it with anyone interested. For this project you will need the 3.5" mount which can be found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1436815. The motherboard templates were created by user "venounan" on Reddit and are being provided here for easier access at https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmods/comments/1chkph/i_made_an_atx_motherboard_mount_template_would/. I am not responsible for any failures that may occur when using these designs, including hardware, software, or data loss. It's up to you to mount your computer under a desk and if the printed parts fail you may damage your computer. To start printing the necessary number of parts for your motherboard: a. Print the preferred pole mount design for the number of screws your motherboard has (or any other board perhaps). b. Optionally, print side & corner mount supports as needed. Use the templates for your motherboard or place your motherboard and mark the holes. Offset the hole positions as necessary by your mounting choice. Screw in the support first using wood screws. Then screw in your motherboard with M3 screws. You can either screw the M3 screws directly to the plastic or use an M3 nut to provide more security. I recommend using nuts but keep in mind you have to put them in before screwing the support under the desk. PS: I am working on a GPU mounting system and other expansion cards will work, although it is not released yet.
