Simple 650D mod

[PureQuaternion]

Hi guys-

Just did some simple work on my 650D to make a video card support bar. I used about 9.5 inches of aluminum bar, along with 1/2" L brackets and screws. The bottom L-bracket secures to the case using a thumb screw and one of the holes from the PSU support bracket. The L-brackets do not actually attach to the graphics card, but rather rest just underneath one of the RAM heatsinks. I could've designed it differently, but for one saw cut and three holes drilled, this was pretty easy.

There are two L-brackets in place for triple-thick Asus GTX 570's. I'm running one now but may grab a second in the future for SLI.

Next step is to paint it all black to match the case.

Looking good dude.You should definitely take out that other HDD cage since you're not using it. Get some more of that airflow moving through.

Yea, probably should do that for now. I added a 3x5.25 bay+fan thing that fits hard drives, so I may pull both cages out and move the drives up top. Would definitely help if I ever SLI.
