the only posibble way is dfor u to mount it is by drilling a small hole in the expansion slot...just enuf for screw to go in it...i have tis casing for a long time now...but still no gc...will get one by end of this month...so might do it if necessary to do so..
anyway...Uncle Ian...hows your wizard modding?might ask for ur help to mod mine to BTX with some modding to my hdd arrangement

Added on March 19, 2008, 1:19 ami'll try answering ur question..
- the 3-pin female socket is for ur front fan...wan led to lighten up...plug it in..
- the push pin is for ur motherboard installation...u wan to use the push in pin or u wan use the screw provided...depend on how u wan to mount ur mobo in
- yes...there are 2 HDD led cables...if u see one cable will lead to front panel led source and the other one will show the hdd animation in ur lcd panel-it depend on your mobo if it has more then one HDD sensor
- the sticker u use to stick the sensors to...CPU-sensor-processor,VGA-sensor-GC and SYS-sensor-for mobo chipset(northbridge)...i did try and place it to my proc and gc...and it work...but not sure how accurate is the reading
- ya..the data cable is for the front USB
- for the gasket and short button head screw..i-m not sure what is it use for...anyone?
*plz correct me if i'm giving the wrong info for the SH09 user

for the expansion slots locking mechanism, it's not really that bad anyway, it's just that i don't think it's a smart way to secure the cards and i don't like it, but i can live with it (it's at the back and i don't see it... haha). For gc, I'm using XFX9600GT XXX and it's rather well secured do far.
thanks for answering my queries. for the HDD led cables, the front panel led is working ok showing HDD activity. the other for the front LCD HDD indicator, it'll just be flashing non-stop once the system is powered up instead of showing HDD activity. is this normal? if it's not, then i think my MB doesn't have extra HDD led connector.
for the sensors, the system one i just stuck to the case. the cpu one i stuck it to the top of HSF cpu plate, the vga one i stuck it to the back of the gc, where the gpu is. compared to the temperature reported, the cpu temp shown on the LCD is -6C while for vga -10C (my cpu idle at 40C, gc 49C). it's a good idea to stick the sys sensor to NB, i'll try that.
the gasket i figured out it's for the stand-off, put between the MB and screw, but i figured out after i'm done with the installation and i didn't put, nvm i'm lazy to open everything again
one more thing, i reverse the side fan (suck out of case instead of blow into case), i noticed that my gc temp went down 2-3C, so i kept it that way

heh. if got money, plan to buy hd3870x2 and IFX14. afraid can not fit, as the card is long and IFX14 is high.
what's the different between hdd bracket and cage. cage means can slide out?
what casing u modding?
if you don't fully populate the HDD area, long gc is not a problem, you can still install at least 2 HDDs comfortably while avoiding getting too near to the gc. if you don't use floppy, there are 2 more bays you can use, out of the way of the gc
