| 258649 | 2004-08-05 21:54:00 | I am putting my motherboard in a Pioneer Rack unit. Just wondering if I can use the foam stuff that comes with the motherboard to lay on or is there a better alternative. It HAS to be close to the bottom coz if it isn't my CD drive wont fit in. Cheers |

| 258650 | 2004-08-05 22:16:00 | You can get little plastic spacers that clip in the screw holes, not sure about laying it on the foam | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 258651 | 2004-08-05 22:18:00 | Have you got any of the little standoff pillars, either metal or plastic? The usual sized one hold the board about 5 or 6mm off the base, you could modify them I suppose but you still want a bit of airflow under the board. I wouldn't be having bits of foam under is especially in a comfined space where things might get a bit warm then sticky. Cheers Murray P |
