| Bob Slay UV Blue Acrylic ATX Case by
Mountain Mods:
Assembly |
| |
| Once all the pieces were unpacked we
set about assembling the Bob Slay case. |
| |
| Each panel is attached via small
clear acrylic blocks. Each block has 3 threaded
mounting holes. The blocks come in 2 varieties
which are mirror images of each other. |
First we attached the front panel to
the bottom of the case.
Our front panel has been modded with an additonal 5.25
opening and two 3.5 inch openings. |
 |
| |
| One trick we learned was to place an
unused panel on the table in order to raise up the panel
we were installing. |
| Next we attached the back panel. |
 |
| |
| The motherboard tray was to be
inserted next. |
| It took us a few minutes to determine
the correct orientation of the acrylic blocks, but
eventually we figured it out. |
| Below is a picture of one of the
blocks in the correct position. |
 |
| |
Here are a couple pictures of the
motherboard tray installed.
The mounting screws fit perfectly and were no problem. |
 |
 |
| |
Next we installed the Buttons and
LEDs.
The wires for these components are of sufficient length
to run underneath the motherboard tray and hide from
view. |
 |
| |
|
Here is a picture of the Backplane. |
One great feature of the Bob Slay case is that the
"Back" of the motherboard is actually on the right of
the case.
This is an excellent advancement and makes it very easy
to get at ones I/O ports. |
|
|
|
The left side and top panels went on easily.
These are the 2 panels that shall have the most wear as
they typically both need to be removed often when adding
in components.
|
 |
|
|
|
Note that our left panel has been modded for us. |
It has had two 120mm fan openings
added to it.
The default Bob Slay left panel is just flat with no
openings. |
|
|
| The acrylic blocks fit with Flat Head
screws. This seems a bit unusual as a flat head
screwdriver is more prone to slip and scratch the
acrylic than a Phillips head would be. We had no
problem though. |
| Since the case is made of thick
.25" acrylic, normal Thumb Screws shall not work to
assemble it together. Longer fan screws are also
needed to attach any case fans added. The Bob Slay
comes with 8 longer fan screws. |
