    find an old case that the bays are rivetted to the frame & cut the rivets out.

    if the bays are rivetted to the frame than use side cutters or a hack saw. if all 1 piece than use hack saw to cut fram apart & a file to smooth the edges.

    if father doesn't have 1 in his tool box/cabinet than can get it from hardware store for about $10.

    Right ok cheers Ddp. If you were intrested the reason for me needing this is as i am hoping to build my own computer case in design technology at school out of foam and perspex. Although i know foam will not be the best its the only material left!
    So cheers for all your help il keep you informed how it goes!

    foam!! wow...be sure to do some excellent cooling, or your going to bake your computer. lots and lots of fans...or better yet, in that type of case, use water cooling...it's probably the only thing that will save you.
