Check this, not my pic but its a real creative use of spare expansion slot covers and super easy to make too. Just need a ruler and a drill. (Got it from this thread - [url]http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33744307&page=49[/url])

Ok, thanx, I had some extra scrap metal, and that's exactly what I was thinking of making, but it's real hard when all your tools are at your moms boyfriends work becuz he is a mechanic. So I usely make it by, by using and old fashion nail and hammer trick. But the gay part is, is that I personally bought a 90 piece drill bit set.

I will repost all my stuff I bought and prices with pictures.
I slaughtered a old CD-rom drive so it can hold 4 hard-drives in 3 5,25" slots.

Just requires a old CD,rom drive you wont miss, a metal drill bit that's a little wider than standard computer screws and a Dremel (or equivalent) with enough cutting disks.

Hold the phone. Why does your mom's boyfriend, who is a mechanic, have all YOUR tools? Is he too cheap to buy his own.
well, i use to live with my grandparents and they had a ton of tools, and i also had tools, except tools that were expensive, like drills and any power tools. So my moms boyfriend is the one with tools and i dont really have access to any power tools.
So, yeah
