Under desk motherboard mounting system by atanasovgoran

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a project to mount my pc under the desk, and I just decided to share my work for anyone interested.
3.5" mount: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1436815
The motherboard templates are from reddit user user "venounan" I only provide them here to make it easier to download. https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmods/comments/1chkph/i_made_an_atx_motherboard_mount_template_would/
I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY FAILURE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT OCURE BY THE USE OF THESE DESIGN (HARDWARE - SOFTWARE - DATA LOSS)
YOU CHOOSE TO MOUNT YOUR COMPUTER UNDER A DESK AND IF THE PRINTED PARTS FAIL YOU MAY DAMAGE YOUR COMPUTER

Print the necessary number of parts for your motherboard.
a. Print your preferred pole mount design for the number of screws your motherboard has (or any other board perhaps)
b. (optional but recommended) Print Side & corner mount supports as you see fit.


Use the templates fot 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*

Screw in tour motherboard with m3 screws*
You can either screw the m3 screws directly to the plastic, or use an m3 nut to provide more security, but keep in mind you have to put the nut in, before you screw the support under the desk (I WOULD RECOMEND THE USE OF THE NUTS)
PS: I am working on a GPU mounting System, not released yet (and other expansion cards would work)
