well, @ arcturius. the io backpanel is 1/3 shorter than a normal atx io backpanel, so that is a no go. checked the official atx formfactor dimensions, and none of the holes are correct.

so as bigben2k says, blowtorch time. the mobo tray is worthless, and the pci + io backpanel needs to go to. :-(

so one looks at masses of dremeling/jigsawing, and some precise riveting welding, to not make it look too ghetto.

but as always, thx for the lots of input
