thats ALOT of work.

I could always move to a cardboard box and use a pci riser

You wouldn't even need to move to the cardboard box with the riser ribbon - you could just leave the chassis side panel off, or cut a ribbon-sized hole in the side panel.

I can see why BTX didn't get much traction. ATX in a BTX case would lessen your problems. At least you have proof it can be done, good work Face2Face.

Thanks!

I got one of these bad boys calling your name - BTX Ready. Your parents may question where you got it from though :D
