Melty 6

I bought standoffs screws a week before last Friday (13th) to mount the PCIe x1 to PCI x16 riser in Melty and I received them yesterday. I pulled Melty out and cleaned her up some before laying her down to drill though the motherboard tray.

The steel used made it hard to get a good dent to use as a centre punch, but what I was able to do was enough to drill accurately enough. I found that one of the holes (probably the bottom left) was actually slightly off, but it didn't seem to affect anything, as I was able to get all three screws in all the way (I was able to make a hole for the bottom right, since it's where the mounting slot was for the PSU cable cover).

I found that it rose the PCIe x16 board approximately 2mm higher than the motherboard, but it didn't to seem to affect the sound card's mounting by that much - if anything I can always replace it with 6mm standoffs instead of the 8mm that I ordered.

I was thinking about taking a picture or two, but decided it wasn't really too worth it.
