HAF Stacker Support Brace?

Ok, so i will be building a full gaming system in the HAF Stacker 935 as well as a Mini ITX Minecraft/gaming server in a HAF Stacker 915F and another machine that is built for Folding in another 915F. I want to be able to stack all of these systems in one stack to keep from having to use floor space. My question is whether or not i should get braces to support the case. It is going to be rather tall when im done, and i REALLY dont want it to fall over. I am going to have a ton of hardware in this case, and its gonna be spendy.

 

Any ideas?

Collecting every single CPU in existence? Is it possible? I have no idea, but i'm sure gonna try! http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/341848-dont-throw-away-old-cpus-im-collecting/

I have worked with the haf stacker and i wont recommend stacking all of those like a skyscraper,its gonna fall eventually and looks dangerous,even if jet fuel didn't melt steel xD

Planning a new build ? Take a look . -------- > http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/345793-ltt-increments-community-based-build-database/

I think it should be okay, as long as you go small/big/small.

I've always wanted to do this but never actually have.

Sig under construction.

Well thats just the thing, im gonna have 3 smalls and one big one. I will be conneccting the big main part to the first small part, because the first small part will be my Radiator box. and thats just the thing, i dont think it would be good if i put a full custom watercooled system as well as a smaller folding machine on top of one of the smaller boxes, just because i dont think it would be good for the case, and may cause bending or warping over time.

It should be fine, just make sure its on a stable base and up against a wall and it will be fine! Make sure you mouse hand is well away from it other wise when you do that 360 no scope flick you will nock ur system over! How stable is ur desk? If its wobbly then it maybe an issue but other than that you should be fine

Yeah, i think im gonna just go ahead and do it. if it gets wobbly then ill find a way to fix that issue. It should be fine, even tho it will be upwards of 47 inches (1200mm) tall... :o

@Jambls yeah I'm trying to draw something up in sketch up right now. Hopefully I can come up with something that looks amazing and will do what I need it to

I would get a steel sheet and hide it under other furniture.
