Starting The Build
We start our build
by removing the aluminum motherboard mounting tray. This
tray is screwed into place with only two screws.
All
of the stand-offs required to mount the motherboard is included with
the case. Once
the motherboard is mounted to the tray, we can install the tray back
into the motherboard.
In the above picture,
you can see my hairy arm screwing the motherboard tray back into place. After going through this process I did realize
that, for the sake of hiding all of your cables, you may not want to pull
the tray out of the case in order to install your motherboard. For
example, the Asus A8N-E I installed in this build for my daughter has it's
2x2 12V connector located in the back upper quadrant of the board. With
my X-Finity's FlexForce cables, I'm able to easily route the 2x2 cable
underneath the motherboard. Naturally, if I had a modular power supply
like Ultra's new X-Connect X2, I could actually route the cable underneath
the motherboard outside of the case, and then plug the cable into the motherboard
once the tray is installed back into the case.
