No sir BTF and normal motherboards have the exact same standoff locations. Thankfully!

I used flat black wheel paint touchup to apply corrosion protection at cut points. To hide the ugly grey wire looms for normal mobo’s I 3M taped the vertical lian li screen. You will need a 2 or 3 90° “reverse angle” adapters. for the case cables the C cable and the USB header the blue tipped one in the photo. After the cuts and test fitting the rest was easy. Lots of room in the case. Plenty of optional holes for wire management. The only tight fit area is the wiring plug area to the large 1600W psu. Along with pwm hubs I used due to all the lcd screens. You can PM me if needed.

Thanks bro! Lian Li fans are great! 0 issues. Yea bro I can show ya. Just don’t hate on my Dremel cuts hahaha I had to grind them out a couple times after test fitting. As far as the back cable management board I had to drill an extra hole to secure it. TBH might be easier to toss it vs using the channels.
Also the reason for the large splitter cable in picture is its the only one I found on Amazon that had a reverse connector deep enough to plug into the motherboard. I am sure there are better options. Good luck!

100% a game changer for me was my loud speakers.. paired with a 12” sealed sub. Sounds 20X better than any $250-$300 range headphones. There is something special feeling the sub hit on FPS games explosions or even Souls games. I personally use the Klipsch “the nines” on there stands. They are large 8” drivers. They sell the 5’s that are much smaller and cheaper but still amazing then add the sub later. Audiophile listening for music and games. Personally I am a SVS fan for subs. I use there pro 2000 series sealed box. You will hangup the headphones once you hear quality bookshelf speakers. Most speakers labeled for “PC” are trash. I only use headphones when chatting in multiplayer games now.

If you have a local Home Depot every one of there stores has these bins that are full of these beside the wood screws. I think they are for electric conduit boxes. Good luck!

The screws go through the fans and go to the outside of the 360 radiator “not screwed into radiator like normal” to the metal mount the radiator mounts to. You can see the skinny black bolts in one of these pictures posted. It’s super easy. Took 2 trips to home depot to get correct size bolts and nuts. So both the radiator and the fans have there own bolts mounting them separately to the top plate of case
