Day 6 - Troubles ahead

Hey guys, here's another update! Today I got the motherboard fixed onto the tray, and unfortunately encountered a few problems

Here are some photos of the motherboard tray in place.


Tray inside the case, ready to support the motherboard.


A flawless fit (Left side)


And near the front of the case.


I turned the tray around. I need to trim those standoffs.


From the side.


As I said earlier I ran into some problems... I forgot to take some photos.
The RAM module is still too tall to fit the DVD drive in place, I have found a solution, which is to angle the DVD drive slightly. OR, to get a low profile RAM, which is going to be near to impossible, and from what I've seen they're ludicrously expensive...

The other problem is, I bought oversized fans. 60mm is too large to fit inside the case, and I need low profile fans to fit next to the motherboard (See 3rd photo) I didn't leave enough space for the fans to fit. DAMN!
I hope I can find low profile 50mm fans to fit in there, else I'm in for a rough time.

Sorry guys for the small update today. Next weekend I won't be able to post any updates as I will be going to England for a few days. Glastonbury to be more precise.

I hope I can make up for these mistakes. thanks for your support everyone.
