Very nice work - how much hand filing was done afterwards? I take it you pre-drilled the corners for the 45 deg cuts above the PCI slots? hole saw for the largest hole?

Yeah...
I don't expect to make a penny out of this. But at least I can take the credit for thinking of it first. As I said, I'm just in it for the mods... If a reasonably well built, cheap replica comes on the market at least everyone will benefit.
The bracket bit was cut out to my exact specifications by a colleague with access to a big workshop (I could have done it myself, and I have done so before, but I do not have a bench press drill or hole saws for the holes). Not much filing was required; their jigsaws make a clean cut. The holes were indeed done with a hole saw.
It is always safe to pre-drill the corners, but to be honest I do not always bother. Cut carefully and have good needle files to sharpen the corners/edges.
