V2000 gutting

[BellaCroix]

Anyone have any idea if I'll run into any warping or bending issues if I gut my V2000?

Specifically, what I'm talking about doing is removing all the HDD racks as well as the front wall of the HDD area (right behind the front bezel/fascia). I plan to leave the wall that seperates the PSU compartment from the HDD compartment as well as the part that divides the top from the bottom.

Just not really sure if that front bulkhead with the fan mount is structural or just there to have a place to mount the front fan.

you shouldn't do. I've recently fully gutted my V-1000 and it hasn't warped at all

Just bought me a modified V2000B and I think this post kicks ass!!!!!

V1000 is much shorter than V2000.

I starting taking out all the parts and it was holding together pretty well... only a little flex. I think I've worked out a way though to strengthen and brace it and still make work what I had planned.
