So I got myself an NZKT Khaos off of craigslist locally for $40. I thought it was a good deal as this case used to be $400. Quick question, the motherboard tray on this case does not have a cutout. When I was installing my CM hyper 212+, the mount kind of pushes the motherboard off the tray, forcing me to use longer screws. Can I just simply make a cutout on the motherboard tray? Has anyone done this before?

Making a cutout should be fine, just don't cut it so large it compromises the strength of the tray.

Dremel or a jigsaw, grab a few metal files to smooth out the cut!
