apple apple Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I like it... again. I also like that you used a lian li motherboard tray. I have a sneaking suspicion that the same company makes the cases for Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdalertdk Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 #5 Motherboard tray http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/ind...oducts_id=21885 #6 well lian li is the only company there is selling nice looking trays and before I used mac's i was a lian li fanboy hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottapotamas Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 which PSU are you using??? and would most standard PSU's fit because i am just about to get a case, and am just clearing up little details... I have seen the Antec Phantom 500W on macmaniac's mod... Do you think that would suffice? I plan on using my existing EP45-UD3 sig rig with either my thermaltake 480W PSU, if it were to fit, or a new one!, with either the mobo tray linked in this thread, or the one with the fan hole incorporated! http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/ind...oducts_id=21886 Thanks BTW, your mod is nice, and looks simple to do...

The psu i use is a "NorthQ - NQ-4775-650-FLEX, 650 Watt" Dimensions:150*86*160mm(W*H*L) Its a real tight fit so there is no need to tape, screw the psu in place, its held by the top of the case and the plate inside the case Hmm I think the motherboard try you link to might be to width. but don't have proff. but look at my backplate its all most the hole width of the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottapotamas Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 i think you are right about the mobo tray being too wide. It appears to be 2.5 to 3 cm wider... Your PSU appears to be almost the same size as my Thermaltake 430NP-A2... but i need a new PSU anyway... Would you be able to roughly measure that empty space near the front of the case? i could end up putting my current one there until i get another one. Thanks a lot! Also, how did you get the front panel / headers to work.... Is there a guide here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the tray to get it to fit you have to cut this off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottapotamas Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 yes, that empty space... it looks nearly large enough to fit my current PSU... Thanks for telling me about the bits of the tray to cut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerdalertdk Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 A little trick. There is room for an extra disk over the DVD drive, but the disk must go in before the drive. its a nice place to put you TimeMachine disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottapotamas Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 a 2.5 or 3.5' disk would fit??? I use only full sized disks, so would that fit??? and thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazfocus Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hi. Nice work. I am, myself, looking to do something very similar. One question - did you have to modify the Lian-Li motherboard tray at all or did you use it as you bought it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really usefull. What type of saw do I need to cut metal? (Sorry I know it's probably a really basic question but never done it before).
