PC upgrade, sort of
« on: July 16, 2020, 01:26:50 pm »
My PC was overdue for an upgrade, so I ordered the parts.
I overlooked the fact that my new motherboard is full ATX.
My case was mini ATX. :-[

Oh, well. I drilled out the rivets to the bottom plate, trimmed it with sheet metal shears and pop rivetted it back in.
Now my PC is upside down. I did remount the optical drive right side up.
Eventually I'll get a new case.

You'll probably start a whole new "case mod" scene   :D
