I am getting a new PC that i will be purely using to run a couple of HL servers for the people on the uni network. However being a student I cannot afford a proper case for it at the moment (this is a VERY budget PC atm) so i am planning to bung it all in a cardboard box that i carefully measured out and checked that it could hold everything in it.
So how should i stop all my stuff wobbling about inside seeing as theres nothing to screw anything to?
I would use tape but then when the PSU and HDD get hot it will melt the glue and go icky and therefore not stick.
Note that as its only a server that theres minimal stuff in it (onboard gfx, sound and nic, so only the PSU, HDD and a fan to plonk in around the mb) so nothing has to be suspended from the sides, i'm only wanting to stick it down because i know that otherwise i will kick it or something silly and knock the PSU over onto the mb or something.
If i ever run into some money sometime i'll see if i cant build a proper acrylic case or something swanky for it
