Extensive mods on case means:

1. You must have sufficient space inside to 1200 MB, plus Acelerator, plus mediator or G-REX;

2. Think 3D! Not only 2D. A Mediator board fits over 1200 MB. Daughter boards fits over Mediator;

3. You have skills and machines? Good! Will need a lot!

4. Cut off the backplate of the ATX case. Mount the 1200/acel/Mediator/daughterboards over a clean workbench (a desk, not the OS!). Make a paper card mold of the  new backplate;

5. Make the new backplate from the mold. For better work, use the original backplate PCI holders;

6. Nail the new backplate in case, then start the assembly.

Have fun and be a good boy :angel:

Goodbye people.

A cool tip (another).

The MINIMAL dimensions (internals):

 - length 480 mm, more, better (18.9 in)
 - width 200 mm, more, better (7.9 in)
 - height 437 mm, more, better (17.2 in)
