Hi,

I was recently looking to do a mod so I can fit a dual slot video card. I'm sure you guys seen the pics of a hold cut on the side to match the cooler. I want to do that, but I just want to cut a rectangular shape so that I can fit any card. That's easy, but I also want to cover it, but I am not sure how to do that. What kind of material should I use? How do I bend it to fit the shape, how do I hold it in place and where can I buy it?

I was thinking about that, when it hit me that I may need a better PSU. Has anyone tried to fit a standard ATX in there some how? If I can hack or slash the insides to fit one in I am willing to do that.

I've also seen some people fit standard coolers in there instead of the ice, maybe I can make some room in that back area like that if I go with another cooler? This all just brainstorming that I was doing, I am not sure how practical it is. Basically want to do an upgrade without having to buy a whole new bare bone. I'd rather upgrade to a whole new socket if I have to buy a new bare bone, but I can't really do that atm.

Any ideas are much appreciated

Thanks
