Topic: Scrypt Mining Rig, caseless question. (Read 1312 times)
The black ones are all coated, the chrome ones have a layer of clear coat on them as well, but the black ones look nicer
I use those for my rigs, they work fine... I used zip ties to mount the mobo vertically so no contact is made... and it is coated metal, so no contact is made... and it's not grounded so it won't short out... jeez
If it's coated it's fine I was just referencing to the link op had posted which appears to be bare.
Just looked over the pic and I can't tell, but yeah. Coated is good, bare is bad.

So I was having overheating issues running my 2 280x's in my mid-sized ATX case. I google'd and read up a bunch of stuff and saw that a lot of people were running mining rigs caseless in everything from a milk crate, wire shelf, etc...
I went out and bought a wire shelf for cheap ($19) that's 3 shelves high. Looks a lot like this: http://www.wire-furniture.com/pics/WIRE_SHELVING_BL.jpg
The shelves height are adjustable.
Now my question is, I see plenty of threads on gaming/overclocking websites of test benches running on top of a cardboard motherboard box etc.. However, I see this as a fire hazard and not a long-term solution. What do I mount underneath the motherboard/components so they do not short out or cause any other hazards.
Any tips or advice is welcome! Thank you.

Just choose material that is either metal or plastic and you should be safe...
Dude, if you put it on metal it will short out. OP DO NOT DO THIS.

Go get an old case and butcher it for a motherboard tray.
Congratulations on being the 500th altcoin thread reported for being in the wrong place.
