Plexiglass Server Rack

I had these two motherboards from some Mini-PCs that I took apart and decided to make a small "rack" (more of a custom case) for them to sit in instead of just lying around. I used plexiglass and hot glue to make the main frame and the plastic tubes to make fan mounts (not shown).

Of course you will need plexiglass and some motherboards to create this. To attach the plexiglass I used hot glue but any other adhesive will work. another thing that is needed are computer fans to cool the thing, I will be using some of the random fans just lying around (not pictured).

Depending on the size of motherboards that you are using, you might have to improvise. I used motherboards that were around the size of M-ITX (If you know what that is), and they had an I/O Shield attached to the back I/O. The I/O shield allowed the motherboard to stand up so that I could have them vertical rather than horizontal, if you are using a motherboard that does does not use an I/O shield like mine, you might have to have them horizontal. To make the dividers, I used scrap pieces of plexi-glass.

On the back piece of mine, I have holes that I will use for ventilation. I will also be using the plastic pipes to make struts/bars for more fans to go over top.

The whole point of this instructable was to give you IDEA'S, not to tell you how to make exactly what I made! Be creative!
