I've done it, and its cake. Just use a small flathead screwdriver to push the center of the clips through, and they come right out. Actually quicker than screws.
I bought the NeoHE 430 with my setup, and yes, I had to install it upside down in my Qpack. It fits just fine that way, but I have a Plextor 716 drive, and its a tight squeeze between the drive and the PSU, as I'm sure you've probably heard. Here are some pics of my setup...
I have one, and have had no problems with it. Its my first Gigabyte board. I got it for the 430 southbridge, so it was the only thing going when I built my machine a couple of weeks ago. The only drawback is lack of voltage settings. If you do the Cntrl-F1 Gigabyte trick, it lets you up the...
Hey all,
I have a Qpack as well, and this rolling backpack/bag was featured in the latest ed. of maximum PC. The dimensions are 20x15x10, so it should just fit the Qpack. I'm thinking about getting it, its only $60 and looks stylish, not to mention the rolling part...

Its the Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9 tforce board that doesn't have a vcore setting. I have one. Its currently the only board available with the 430 southbridge. So far I can get a san diego 3700+ (2.2Ghz) running at 12x240 (2.640Ghz) without the vcore adjustment... I'm dying for a 430 southbridge...
Ugghh... hardwarezone just reviewed the Gigabyte board, and it didn't fare so well.... I'll be looking to move to a DFI or Asus board quick.
