Hi, sorry to answer back so late but I just saw your message today, I might be a bit late to the party. The laser hive web states that the standoffs included with the kit are 10mm M3's

Hi, when I meant I had flashed the bios I meant the one on the GPU (not mobo), It's got the latest one from XFX I could find.

Hi there, I recently got an untested XFX R9 280x, and after tinkering around with it a bit I've stumbled upon a problem (Apart from one of the fans not spinning). The card will output video just fine with the Microsoft basic drivers, but when installing any AMD drivers (I've tried with 3 different releases) It will end up in a black screen or sometimes a reboot. I also flashed the BIOS to the latest version but It still does the same thing. Has anyone had similar issues? Thanks!

I'm also planing on building either a bar top or a full arcade at some point, most likely a bar top because it's easier to store. the problem I have with most of the ones I've seen is that they are a bit too narrow to fit two people comfortably for coop. One thing that's for sure is that it will have beer holders and maybe a bottle opener.

So far I glued the support pieces yesterday, and this morning added a couple more pieces and nailed eveything down for extra strenght.

I'm doind this on the cheap that's why there's no 3D printing involved (So far I haven't spent a penny). I'm not sure what to put on the inside, maybe a Mini ITX board, I also have an old Mac mini and a Raspberry Pi so I'm still thinking about that. Also this computer originaly came from the factory with either no hard drive or the choice of a 40 or 80 MB drive. The top of the line model was about 6,5k's back in the day

So here's what I've done so far. I put the computer on it's side over a couple of paper sheets so I could make a side template, It's not the most precise method but my jigsaw is kinda wonky and I can't get a straight line with it even if my life was at stake. After that I nailed two pieces of wood together so I could make both sides in one go and taped the template on top. I used a table saw to get rid of the biggest chunks of wood and then the janksaw to finish it (It took a lot of filing and sanding to make it look half decent) With that made I took some measures of the original computer. It's about 24,5 cm wide and the wood I had used was 2 cm wide so I cutted some 20,5 cm pieces to start joining and bracing the interior.

Hi there! I've started a little project that I would like to share here, I'm not sure what I'll do with it when it's finished but I think it's pretty neat. I've always liked old Apple/Macintosh stuff and have a SE/30 Mac laying around. I've thought about doing somethin with it but the thing works perfectly, and also has some upgraded stuff from the period (Like a huuuuge 500MB Drive) and a weird Apple Talk / Network card. It's gone a bit beige but apart from that It's in pretty good shape, here are some pics:

Completely doable, I did something similar to a couple of old HP cases, check them out if you like:

It's got some quite old hardware inside and a pretty crappy PSU but it works as a backup computer and now looks so much better! Amazing über specs: Asus 775 Board Core 2 Duo E7400 (I think...) 4 gigs of 800mhz DDR2 XFX Radeon 4670 1GB Nox Sense 500w firestarter PSU

A bit of sanding and painting later and now it looks like this:

I removed all of the rivets from the case, tried to bend everything back in shape and then riveted it back, it's not factory spec but waay better than you can see in the pictures. I also removed the fixed I/O shield , modified the front to hold an 80mm intake fan and chopped the old backplate thingy for the original board and CPU cooler (You can see it has special stands to screw the cooler directly to the case)

But, I still had another case around that I had slightly modified so it would fit standard hardware. This was the G5 version of the proliant, the red one is the G4. They look almost identical on the outside but have some differences on the inside. Thats why I didn't go crazy on this one and invert the mobo tray. So this is what I started with:
