Day 5 - Motherboard Tray Part2
Hi everyone, another weekend another update. I was finally able to slap in the motherboard tray, and began working on the back of the case to fit the motherboards back ports! But enough talking, moar pics incoming:
Here's the motherboard tray, after done filing. It now fits perfectly.
Now onto the back.
I decided that I should keep out the motherboards own shield and use the case as one instead (even better since it's vented). Here I had already cut the Parallel (top) and the Serial and VGA port (Bottom).
After a few minutes of cutting and filing this is what I get. Alot easier to use this method than cutting a rectangle for the shield and having trouble fitting it in.
In more detail
After that I moved on to the USB, LAN and Audio ports, and this is what got.
Money shot
All the spaces cut down except for the mouses PS/2 port that I will not use it, therefor I won't bother cutting it.
I'm open for suggestions on what to do with the remaining spaces I have on the back (the LAN and USB ports and the Audio/Video output from the 360). I'll most likely use the LAN/USB space to put the CCFL switch
Here are some photos on how I will most likely have this set up.
Motherboard in place with the standoffs just to know its height (thats how I managed to cut the back of the case)
View from the top after putting the optical drive tray (I had to remove the memory)
Front CCFL.
Left side CCFL.
I'll also cut this leg. Else I can't use the support.
Alright, it's all for today. Expect another update tomorrow
Thanks everyone for watching.
