Just found this site, and it looks great.
I am in the process of installing CNC to my little sherlines, and was looking for a box to install my power supply and controller board. Has anybody put all that EXTRA gear into the computer they will be using? I have done a trial fit of all the parts, and i have the room, but was unsure if I will have bad effects with all the extra wiring and feedback from the processor and harddrive.
Thanks

I would think it would be OK, just make sure you have enough cooling.

Thank you very much. Its worth the try anyway.
I will post my findings when all is said and done.

It's a good sulution, if space is a problem, what drivers are you using?

I just recieved the drivers from Xylotex, and the power supply kit as well. It looks like I will have plenty of room, and if this works, that will be one less box on my bench!
I will post some pics when I have this little project finished.

Well, Finally got the machine finished! Dave from TurboCNC was kind enough to drive down to assit in the final setup of all the important issues, as I was very unsure as to how to set up the PC.
I almost forgot how much fun these where, forgot how to program CNC, been about 10 years since I was in school for this.
If I knew how to post pictures to this board, I would be happy to share my setup.
Anybody know of any good books on CNC programming?

Try this for a programming book. I think its a little steep but there isnt much out there That I see.

let's see if I can post a picture...
This is the case without any of the drivers mounted yet.

That is one BIG case!

Not really, just your standard tower PC case.
My other pictures are to big, over the limit, how can I resize them so I may post them.
Thanks

Even with the new program, they are still to big. Must be the end user, never said I was good at the Computer!
Anyway, it is nice and compact, plenty of air flow over the heatsinks, and a little more room on the bench.
Just finished my first program, very simple, but ran without a hitch, so now I am hooked for sure!
