Anyway, if the holes are there, it will be always possible to use the spacers. It is just a question of using the screws in a couple of them and something soft to stick to the other two :)

As it's hard to use spacers and screws for all 4 edges of the Mother X4 I was thinking of enclosures with sliding rails on each side.
Like in on the EEVBLOG on youtube. I just have to be deadly accurate measuring before I order.









Then I have something to do for the dark evenings of the autumn. 




Your enclosure radu14m is cool. Transparency is really good for the Mother X4, but I really would like it to be fully boxed. I have limited space in my office/hobby room and move things around a lot and not necessarily in a careful way.

The enclosure that Dave uses with slots are only available in ISO standard sizes and the MX4 doesn't conform to these sizes, so that won't work.

Huuum... maybe I will try to print something when we receive the new 3D printer for the lab. It will be expensive, though, because they want to buy one of those systems that use liquid resin and I found it to be quite quite costly  :(

Hm, somehow this didn't come out right. Remind me to be careful when watching any future pictures of your gaming room. ;)

At the moment my MX4 rests on the table as is, but I've been searching for a convenient box for some time. So far, not a single one fit well enough.

I can understand him though. We've stopped hardware tests several times lately (including today) because our lab has reached 40°C !

Ugh. What a nightmare!
I love my air-conditioned office during the heatwaves in summer.

My office is climatised... So, it is 25°C in for 40°C out actually.
But, at home, where I built your boards my friends... It is 30/35°C inside. That explain why I'm not really productive those last weeks.  :-\

Aircon in the office, but not in the lab for obvious reasons.

My boss wonders why I'm in the lab until 22:00 or so. Well this lab actually has AC  :laugh:

In our labs we always have the same temperature, around 21 (I am biologist) but oh man when you go to the office... we have all the computers in a big shared room with cubicles and that can be hell. My computer working 24/7 and loaded with GPUs is one of the main contributors to the heat, though, so I do not dare to complain  :-X . I is also very noisy...  :-X

Are you biologist as well?  :D That is a coincidence!

Yes, doing genetics with yeast at Tulane (New Orleans). It's about aging / eternal youth and so on. Just found some new functions of SIR2. But CPC may be even more my passion.  ;)

I work with yeast as well, but in DNA replication  :) . Funnily enough, I know Sir1 (although not Sir2) protein quite well, I was helping somebody to express it in the past  :D .

I work with yeast as well, but in buns and donuts. Sadly, they do not have time to age  :laugh:

Hey, at least you do something useful with them, not like us!  :D

I also use yeast, but in beers and ciders. Buns and donuts good, but I think I win on the useful count.

I'm quite sure having had a couple of them in their lab may be the reason why the temperature rose to 40 degrees. Just don't let his wife know, ok?

Well I wouldn't object that, but now you're putting words in my mouth :D

Bryce

First off, the temperature wasn't too high for us, rather too high for what we wanted to test. Secondly Yeast is used to make beer, anything else is just faffing about. Thirdly, eternal youth comes from messing about with Retro hardware, the only yeast you need for that is mentioned in point number two.

Well, yes. ;) Blame it on the temperatures.
