I gutted a small TV and want to use it as a case for my new build. My budget ran out and I decided to make things interesting with the case. I have everything planned and measured, except for one thing. What would be the proper way to mount the motherboard? I plan on mounting it to the inside bottom of the TV, with the graphics card etc coming out of the right side of the TV case.
The real queston: Is it ok to just bolt it directly to the plastic case of the TV? I plan on leaving like a half inch space for air flow, but was curious if I would have grounding issues. I never tried anything like this, so normally you would be mounting the mobo to metal inside of a real case. I don't have an ATX case to scrap parts from by the way, but I do have a couple of micro atx cases laying around. I'm also planning on salvaging the expansion slots for the add-ons to be secured ie graphics card.
Any other advice for problems I may run into would be cool too, lend me your experience please, thanks.
I'm still waiting for stuff to come in the mail, so I won't be able to post pictures for a few weeks, so you'll have to look for a new thread at some point.
