After letting the assemble fold for a while finally got off my duff and decided to start cramming everything into the SG01. First had to remove the mobo assembly from the tech station and the shutoff valves and plugs did the trick. Here it sits waiting to be mounted in the case….
Then into the case it went, very glad I used bulkhead fittings as it made it easy to hookup!
 
One of the initial fitting issues with the new layout was the Seagate that is to be the primary HDD. Sadly the only place I had was in the top 5.25 bay where I had planned to hid my PSU cables. I decided to “borrow” several of the standoffs from BHrDx to mount the unit. However the blank also uses the front set of mounting holes so it was off to “hammer, grind, and file to suit”. First off I had to file down the threaded sheet metal on the cover (here you can see the before….didn’t take an after!). Then I had to hand fit the standoffs which took several trips to the vise and file before it would “fit”.
  
As it turns out there is a about 3/8” under the HDD so maybe I will still be able to hide some of the power cable excess there. Please excuse the fuzziness of the first shot of the HDD mounted!
 
Now on to mounting the HDD cage with the 2 x 400GB drives and installing the cross brace and fan holder.
  
It is starting to get a little tight now!! Okay break over going to mount the PSU, start hooking up stuff, and then try to figure how to tidy it all up.
