Dark Seeker, PM me with some photos of this mod when you're done.
I've been thinking about doing this for a while. My idea was to shrink the components as much as possible and then mount them just behind the faceplate. I was also thinking about integrating the mem card slots into the front panel toward the sides mounted veritcally. Not deep slots but maybe a quarter inch deep before the connectors. I'm hesitating cause I don't want to hack up my blue XCM front panel. I have a red one coming and an crystal x3 cp to paint to match it, so maybe I'll hold off until I have some more case options.
Could always hack my spare stock case
