    After a while of thinking I decided to order a motherboard for the project, so on Monday I picked up the phone and ordered, arrived yesterday ...
    I bought it from MONITOR SYSTEM D.O.O. Belgrade,I would like to publicly commend them,because they have the most affordable prices here in Serbia,and they are very nice to the customers
    I am very pleased with them
    I want to share a couple of pictures (on my way) of the motherboard, which of course everyone already knows, and in countless forums is presented and tested, so it is an ASUS Maximus GENE V-motherboard

    I know I said,that I am gonna glue the back of the case,but I change my mind,because I must be sure that all fit perfectly in the case
    So I drill the holes and tight the back of the case with M3 screws
    After that I use a motherboard tray of other old case,and cut it to fit in
    The motherboard tray not gonna look like this,I am gonna mod it to look like a custom
    Finally the case is supports ATX form factor size motherboards
    I hope these images my Wife will never see,because she will k..... me

    If you want to repaint the graphite plastics, 90% iso alcohol will dissolve the paint. I cleared out my old one that way. We also used to clear out the original snow G3 macbooks that way, until they started making them with white plastic.
