Title: Sun Ultra 45 chassis mod project
Post by: tle on May 17, 2020, 10:25:06 pm

Sun Ultra 45 chassis is one sexy design. The quality that Sun Microsystems put into this chassis is second to none. I was fortunate to buy a used Ultra 45 chassis from an UK eBay seller and get it shipped to Australia for $100 AUD (then the seller updated the shipping cost to $200+). The empty chassis does not come with the proprietary motherboard tray so I have to workaround by drilling 3 small holes for three 1.8cm L-shaped plastic standoffs (sourced from the CPS2 arcade machine - I guess the brass standoffs that are abundant online can be used too). Here is the video of the mother bound mounting

Next is to ask my friend to laser cut me an I/O shield plate from a thin metal sheet.

I will update this space as I progress.

You haven't updated since posting this and I know I'm totally necro'ing the thread but I really like your work. Would you consider sharing pictures of this to the user gallery (https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Category:Gallery)?
