    Is there a UK or European source for motherboard trays? I need a couple of E-ATX and about 6/8 ATX trays.

    Alternatively is there somewhere to download a template that I can take to a local engineering shop to get a dozen or so laser cut?

    the tray you could make generic standards based on the size of the mobo whether its a normal atx or another size then drill holes after.

    I don't have or plan to buy the equipment to just make a few trays (and I wouldn't have the roon to use them). Without proper specs I can't ask someone else to make them. I have now found an ATX template and specs, and mATX specs, but nothing larger than ATX.

    My preference would be to buy ready made trays.

    Thats because The larger then ATX is not really a set standard at this time, more of a consensus.
    I would suggest measuring the motherboard for the actual size and remember to have a cut out behind the CPU for easy installing of Coolers ;)

    or buy the case with that tray and then you have a template.
    or ask here if some one owns a case for that motherboard and see if they would be kind enough to send you measurements.

    I was going to say Kustom as well.

    If you email them, they are very helpful and can probably set them aside for you when the delivery comes in.

    I'm looking for a cheaper option than cases or test benches for setting up a number of test systems for older hardware. For testing various components, and to be able to keep them ready to run when I have parts to test or benchmarks.
