Thank you. I have seen the flipped PSU mod, several time. I intentionally did not purchase a PSU that required a flip, so it simplified the mod. CyberDruid did a couple of PSU-flip systems and they can be seen on OCN. Just search for them.
I spent about $2200-ish ($600 was the video card and prices have dropped now) and time spent was probably off & on over three weeks (i.e. paint for 10 minutes and let it dry for 2-3 days). Hope that helps.
