Hey Everybody,

Got myself into a little bit of a bind that I needed to get out of....so, I though I would share it:

Long Story:

I purchased one of these XSPC WBs for an 8800GT. Well, I also had an 8800GS that it ended up matching up with. Needless to say I trashed that card (GS) with the install because of my Vid Cards WCing noobness. However, from that experience, I made some assumptions that were not quite correct!

The core assumption was that the 8800GS was similar to the GT/GTX in hole layout. Hey, they are all G92s, riiiight? Uh, No--maybe it is, maybe its not.

So, I picked up 2 XFX 8800GS AD to fold with. Then ordered 3 of the newer Swiftech Obsidian WBs in an effort to stay away from the acrylic.

This is what I found:








Ok, so what to do? I've got 2 cards and blocks to go on them. Well, I started by cutting off the unnecessary bolt loops:




But that wasn't quite enough, so I started taking it a part. After looking at a few things, I realized that this isn't anything a Dremel can't fix.....So, I went to work. And after cutting here and cutting there, I wound up with this:





Eventually I got the holes to match up nicely:








The blocks/cards are leak-free and installed. Currently folding away.

Here are some shots of the Obsidian dismantled:
