The Intelligence - Day 08
picking up where we left off: needed to de-hinge the top of the case

had to trim off the flange above the pci slots since thats where the upper case will swing past to open

needed to trim the right flange that is part of the upper case, as well

cut out the pci slot opening on the upper case

rough cuts with both halves together

test fit mobo pan = win

notice the lip of metal above the pci slots, and to the right - those needs to go...

marked off...

cut, test, trim, test, trim, test trim etc until flush....

mu-har

fan hole time. hole saw, tap fluid, case, and me (not pic'd)

ready for action, pilots...

wow, I almost died! holesaw jumped out a bunch of times. ended up with incomplete cuts thru the inner trim rail.

no worries, Dremel rescue + half round bastard file

same goes for the other two holes.

parting shot of back and top - until tomr
thanks for watching
