KDA 1,939 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Have you already figured out how you're going to mount it to the wall? What material will you be using? Is it essentially just going to be an open shelf, or are you going to enclose the parts compartment with acrylic or glass? Link to post Share on other sites

Was thinking of plywood with simple L shaped brackets for fixing it on the wall. Plexiglass to cover the parts side. Speaker part is just an idea and it could be simple shelves really.

KDA 1,939 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Look into using a French cleat system for mounting the thing to the wall. Easy to make, and will support a ton of weight. You can secure it with a dowel or screw if you feel it's necessary. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

KDA 1,939 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Are you going to be doing all of this by hand? Link to post Share on other sites

I have all the power tools required and a friend to help me cut the angled ones perfectly (like the French cleat). I just need to figure out if I'm keeping the current config or start something from scratch. Spoiler Motherboard: Gigabyte H61M-S1 with two DDR3 RAM slots and a maximum of 16 GB. I currently have 12GB(4+8) at 1330 mhz. CPU: I5 2500K @3.30Ghz with 4 cores, 4 threads with Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212 GPU: 2GB GeForce GTX 760 (still works fine and not a priority for the moment) HDD: 465GB I could upgrade it to 16 GB RAM and get an SSD for the operating system. But I think it's kinda late in the day for this Considering these parts it's becoming difficult to accept a plexiglass cover😁 Edited December 8, 2020 by IS90 Link to post Share on other sites
