I used thick pliers and alot of force, then positioned the bolt in the "B" hole. You need something bigger than needle nose pliers, since they don't give enough leverage. Be careful not to break the hinge, or scratch anything when the bolt eventually comes out.

I decided not to put one in, in order to make the case appear cleaner. The 5th pic down still shows the aluminum square placeholder just above the NH-U12P.

Some updated pics of my setup. I changed out the mobo/cpu/ram, put in a new SSD, and drilled out the hdd cage retention backet. Airflow is so good, I changed my S1 8800gt to passive, idle temps are 52 C. The diagonal symmetry between the PSU and the 5.25" bays really looks great in person. I...

Posted this before in the 9F thread, but here are some updated pics.

There's definitely enough room for a 140mm fan. I'd say the clearance is around 1.5 inches.

I'd say your current P180 is a little bit more quiet since it uses steel. Yeah, there are filters for the front intake fans and also a filter on the outside bottom of the case where the psu sucks in air from the vents. There's no filter for the top optional 140mm fan, though. It only comes with...

No problem, I was getting impatient waiting for pics too. So I couldn't resist. I was originally thinking of getting the B25F, but the 9F sold me on it's bold front grill. Lot's of positive intake! This case would look pretty slick with the caster wheels, so I'm tempted.

[/IMG] Ordered mine off of Performance-PC's. My only gripe is that the HDD retention plate on the bottom is riveted in, so I'm not able to put my silenced HD enclosure there. It's currently running externally, but I'm planning on moving to an SSD and mounting it in between the...

The PCI slots are also vented and the PSU exhaust mount now has a bigger opening. So a decent effort to increase airflow.

Why do you have the fans blowing towards the front when there aren't any exhaust fans in the front? Does the perforated front allow enough heat escape?

You could also try enclosing your hard drive in a scythe or nexus HDD enclosure and put it in the 5.25 space. Thereby, doing away with the HDD cage altogether. Then the front 120mm fan can feed the 4870x2 air without anything in the way.

Well, denial does run deep in fanboism. Besides, he "really really likes the technology;" albeit crippled technology.

Um, I don't see any for 260's for $300. :( Where are you getting your figures from?
