Id guess you'd need to drill the holes for the Fixing Bolts, so when you move it the to pand bottom move together :)

When i drilled mine (Mach 1 mind) it was just a standard 6mm hole, wouldnt have thought they'd have changed size for the Mach 2.

Oops, forgot as well.

Depening on your Motherboard and Tray, you may need to cut a hole for the backing plate to sit it, if you dont you will end up bending you mobo, which i found out is a costly mistake.

What Mobo you be using with it?

Depending on the Size of the Risers on your mobo tray, you may need to cut the hole in the try.

before you stick the Backing plate to the mobo, just rest it on the try, place the mobo on it, where it needs to be. Then screw a few in, see if it bends the mobo.

If it does, get your dremel out :)
