PICTURE REQUEST: post your PC case mount solutions behind rear seat/trunk

Hi,

I just figured that my morex pc case is ideal for mounting it on my rear seat armrest. Behind it that is. I am now figuring out how to mount it, and I wanted to see some of you guy's setups for mounting pc case in unusual places. Your brackets etc designs to inspire me.

Thanks much in advance.

p.s. here's my office setup trying as hard as I can to finish soon:

I was just trying to point out that you can mount a case anywhere, behind a body panel even....or you can not use a case at all.

My last two have gone under the floor, so not much need for a case, altho my current one is a little fancier than the previous:

v3 with an epia and a 1U psu:


v4 with a hp ePC mainboard with onboard psu:


The allthread has since been cut down (as its been in my car for two weeks now) and a cat5 jack for the control box was added to replace the buttons hanging out the back. It's in basically the same spot as v3.
