Ha I'm waiting for my case too....
I thought that metal plate comes apart and you can just attach one?

Would the shruken sans the fan fit? I was gonna do some testing to see if the case fan alone can cool the a6-3500 down sufficiently when my parts came.

if you go with the Big Shuriken as CPU cooler,
only FAN u need in the ISK300-65 is your Shuriken FAN.

I already drilled the holes on the front... of the ssd holder it's going to work just fine. I just need to go to the hardware store and get a flat head screw that is a little long so the lid closes.... i have tons of screws but non with a flat head.

i see u drilled already, if it works right on!

but i think this would have been sweet too

Yes but it would not work..... I have it here and looked at it. You will have to cut higher.... ill check it when I get the mobo in.

i think u only need to cut high like 10mm.

till when u get the mobo in,

can u measure how tall this is please?

thx

It's 1/2" and the mobo stands will bring it higher..... and on the back of the bracket there is a lip.... will be harder to cut. So if it was a structural bracket then I would think something else but it's not. I'll post a pic when it's done.

Eskro let me see when I get the mobo how high it goes.... if not I will rethink things.

as you see on the images

==>

that guy did exactly as i suggested --> Here!!

and it seems he didn't even had to Drill / Put screws to secure the plate!
Looks like it holds!

Oh cool.... It looks like there is just a tiny piece of metal holding the center. I will look at it when I install it on the mobo because maybe placement is somewhere else. Nice find. But I think it don't matter if nothing is holding it on that side where is cut. The other side is pretty firm. But hey if you can leave a little piece where it's cut then good.
