I went with aluminum angled stock for my stuff which costs about $30 for one rig. If you have snips and a good drill you can make the same rig. Dimensions would work for wood as well I assume.
Dimensions are
24Wx10Hx10D.
The only measurement I don't have is the brace for the back of the cards which is probably 7 or so inches up from the bottom rear 24" length. I just put the card resting on the front length and then eyed the measurement up from the bottom for the brace.

I have HTPC machines all over my house that I have built over the past couple of years. When I got back into mining, I ended up having each of these mining at night when no one was watching them, but it has become somewhat of a burden getting it all going each night.
I want to go ahead and build an actual mining rig just to leave running on a regular basis. I have a stack of new cards sitting in my office and tons of computer parts, but would like to build an open air case. I very much like the looks of the wooden cases on Ebay and they would be considerably cheaper to build since I don't have easy access to 80/20.
My question is, are there any guides or dimensions available for this? I am curious about some aspects such as grounding the motherboard on such a setup. Any information would be wonderful and much appreciated.
