Found this thread while at work (computer lab at school), had nothing to do but surf the net, and since I read all the replys to my post, I had nothing better to do but surf threads =D, lol. I found this one.. and an hour and a half later I finished reading it. First off, I wanna thank you goby for helping me kill so much time, and getting my mind off of food (except for that half eaten bologna sandwhich that sponsored an earlier episode, even that looks delicious right now). Second off, wow, I have never seen anyone so dedicated to reaching perfection with their mod/computer build. I gotta say I'm proud of you, as a father/husband still having time to build this rig. Not to mention all the posting you did about it. The case paint looked extremely awesome, I really liked the metallic black. The watercooling you got was awesome, I really liked that you chose so many different parts, and got the best of everything!! The build will be a promising and satisfying one. Nice motherboard btw, (hint: read my specs) =] And I as well as 50000 others will bookmark this thread. Definitely looking forward to the finishing product. Keep up the amazingly good work.

if all else fails you can run your usb, firewire, and audio cables behind the mobo try, come out the whole, and out from underneeth the mobo where they need to connect. just a suggestion.

Once you remove the tooles locks you will see the screw holes for fixing the card in place with a single screw like on most other cases

The plates that cover the PCI slots are removed by using a screw driver to pop them out of place. And i mean *POP*. I did it and it nearly hit me in the face, lol . So be careful when removing them. The manual tells you exactly how to get them off.

You use screws in place of the PCI locks, you can just unscrew the whole thingy.

Same here, that thing is junk.

Just use screws, like so:

Good thing that pci card is there, i was aiming to take a pic of the gfx cards plate. Bah, jittery hands.

If they had made the tooless lock out of metal, and put some strong springs on it to hold it closed it might have been useful

EDIT: off-topic - is it possible to get a chrome effect paint? I think the inside of my silver armour would look 1337 with a chrome interior and some bright CCFL's
