For the computer desk I'm building, I want to keep the CPU on a slide-out drawer-like tray. My sketchup drawing below.
The CPU is around 19" high, and 8" wide (and 20" deep). I'm planning the tray to be a 10x20 ply with a little edging of 2" high, maybe. I'm hoping this can slide out to at least 75% of the CPU body.
Which type of slide do you recommend for this? A regular 3/4 ext in metal, a full ext metal, or wooden (perhaps dovetail)slides? I'm thinking the wood ones would allow me that extra 1/2" space on the sides that I'd give up for the metal ones, right? But are there any strength, solidity issues for either type?
