$40 USD? That's really not enough. If you wanna do one of these it should be at least like $200... And you need a way to keep it honest.

Or are you talking about making a case?

A motherboard box with some strong plastic sticks stuck to the side of the box to hold the GPU steady  Isn't that what Linus always recommends as a DIY test bench minus the sticks but they could help lol
