Ugh, first time im trying to switch my case around and im having difficulties. I have a BTX mobo and just bought the case below. Now I feel like im missing something stupid here, but how do i convert the back panel to take a BTX mobo (as its pre-set for an ATX mobo). Any help for this noob would be appreciated.

Looks like you need the BTX accessory kit for BTX support. It's basically a replacement back panel that's mirrored compared to the stock one. Here's one online.

Looks like a cool case (no pun intended), how's the build quality?

Argh! That something i can pick up at microcenter? Im about to go nuts with all the small things im missing.

Quality is so far so good. All the important parts are metal...the front door works pretty well. Ill let ya know once its up and running about the lcd display.

It probably has no relevance but my thermaltake armor is both btx and atx ready... weighs a ton, but its the best case out of a dozen or so Ive ever used.
