I was bored today and cleaning, so I made a card rack.

What is a card rack you say? I made it up while I was working on this. I got tired of having tons of add on cards all over the place, so I decided to attach them to a piece of angle aluminum.

nother pic

Took a piece of aluminum and marked it with the back of a computer case. Then drilled a good 50 holes in it and tapped them 6-32 for regular computer screws. I will then cut it to length and mount it in my tool box.

What'cha think? do I have too much time on my hands?

yes, you have too much time on your hand.

now what are you going to do with this work of art? just store your PCI cards?

Good idea!

I could use one of those... I have a box full of old cards lying around.

Yes!!!

But I like the stuff you come up with. :D Good way to keep the cards safe and out of the way. Instead of all piled into boxes like I have, then I have to dig all through them looking for the card I need. ;)

Exactly. I will have it hanging in the bottom of my tool chest after I jut it in half. It is 3' long now, mu box is 17 1/2" long. That way they will not beat on each other when I open the drawer to pull one.

Yeah, just exactly what I need. Another thing to make me more geeky. I think not! :)
