I'll build a Test Bed on legs something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353001&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=6146836&SID=1uz33m24kqbvm
But I wonder what material to use.
A metal sheet, aluminum, steel? like an actual board in a computer, with standoffs of course?
How about a wooden board - would that work? Cut down on static probs? Cut down on chance of shorts?
What about Perspex? Looks good. Any good?
What about other plastics?
What about rubber sheet - cover something with rubber sheet? Could I then lay the board on the sheet not needing to fuss with standoffs?
And could I use underpowered old PSU's for this basic testing seeing there won't be numerous HDD's or anything? Or must I dedicate an expensive modern PSU?
And are there any other things I should take into consideration before I start?
