Mounting
53 mm will be available to place the motherboard and dvd combo
The metallic support was cut to allow more place for the motherboard. It will serve to fix the dvd combo, the SSD and graphics card.
the housing bottom is rid of the useless sinks and screw support. Standard PC case screws are fixed directly into aluminum (some shortened because of the small indentation on the border). Thoroughly check that no component key (there are many on the lower face of this type of motherboard). I reused the original plastic.
I cut the piece of sink and motherboard to the back of the housing properly.
introduction of the motherboard. we can already see that the power cables take up too much space and it will simplify to release space for the graphics card. the same for the original case fan, too thick, it will be replaced by a noctua NF-A9x14 PWM.
