So here is the chip in the panel. It is located on the lower left-side of the rear panel. The perimeter of the panel is still intact (OMG sooooo grateful for that!), and the chip is out of the face. Later on you will see that there is still a 1/4" gap between the faces of the trays and the rear panel that is to be filled with another panel. It is this panel that will cover the
(scale is in mm)
Rear panel with all cuts made:
Nate ~ Yah, I am using the Lain Li motherboard tray. Generally I will make my own, but I did need the I/O block and PCI slot frame, so I decided to take the easy way out.
Androo ~ lol... The old one is still sitting here, but it has marks where the vertical HDD supports were mounted (I broke those off, cut them down and mounted them to the new tray).
And as always, thanks for the elixir of Music.
