Completed SR-2 in 800D

[stoanee]

Finally done.
1)-Put mobo into case and see that the SR-2 must move down to line up standoffs.




2)-Pull out tools of destruction and remove three rivets on back. Also three Phillips head screws removed up front.




3)-Pop mobo tray out of case tabs.



4)-Cut away case to allow SR-2 to drop into alignment with existing standoff holes. Drill and tap (6-32 thread) four more standoff holes and install standoffs along with motherboard.




5)-Remove Xeon backplates and check clearance of Noctua backplates. Cut away motherboard tray to allow installation of Noctua back plates.



6)-Assemble motherboard to case.






Sorry about all the big pics, still don't know how to use the zoom function......

Nice work stoanee!!! :thumb: I really like the look of those big assed Noctua's in the window. Have you ever thought of painting the top of those coolers red? I think that would look kick ass. :thumb:

What videocard are you using and are you folding with it as well?

 

[stoanee]

8800GT......:haha:
No folding with it at all.

Well done stoanee!
I feel that when I do something extra with a build it feels more like it's "mine".
Enjoy all that power!

Nicely done Sir.

Now that you've got this one done your next SR-2 build should be alot easier...:biggrin:

Did you tap new screw holes in the motherboard tray or just use the stick on ones the SR-2 comes with?

Easy to miss, you should really put some space between the pictures and text:thumb: However, it looks good. Don't most people just lower that middle plate when they shove an SR2 into an 800D?
