Aside from a little dust and getting the rear bracket on for the video card, in a couple days from now, here is the finished case mod.

Very nice.  I was originally thinking about doing this before I got my SUGO.  Very nice fit and finish.

Looks AMAZING!

But I was wondering, since the G-chassis involves sliding the case cover back, how did you manage that?

He probably just pulls that side up and over to be honest. I did a similar mod when I had a massive Arctic Cooling solution on my old 9800 AIW.

It just makes you wonder after all these product updates and new releases, Shuttle still insist on putting the PCI-E slot as the outer slot

probably because they don't want people putting "power-hungry" video cards in cases with 250W power supplies.

That is very cool.

It looks like a supercharger sticking out of the hood on a muscle car!

Very nice, but i do have to question about the magic. :cheese:

How the hell can you open the case?

What modifications did you do to the bracket area?

If  possible, please post pics with the case open.

Again, very nice, clean mod.

Heck, i'm thinking in buying the cover from you or sending you a "virgin" cover so you can make that cut for me.  :-)

Actually, it's a good thing they put the PCI-e slot on the outside.  That way if you use a dual slot video card, you don't lose your PCI slot.  You can either mod you case cover as the OP did or leave the cover off.

Well, since we don't get more pics, especially with the case open, i'm saying that this is a photoshop mod.

I agree based on the pixels and the fact that I have seen more than a few pixels in my time Cheesy

if you zoom in you'll see that for some reason he allows his gts fan cable to sit outside the flushed edge plus some odd bracket

not to mention why is there only shine on the reflection and not an entire line of it as would be should there be a light making that partial shine as it is

I don't think it's photoshopped.  I just looked at the EXIF data and it was taken with a Toshiba PDR-4300.  If it was photoshopped, the EXIF data would have shown that in the file history.
