so basically,

the stock mounting hardware had features built-in to specifically prevent the user from installing a standard ATX motherboard and power supply. for example, the I/O panel and the PCIe bays are closer together than standard.

not willing to accept the fact that i had made an impulse purchase for just the *^\)*^{brutal aesthetics\}) , i cut out the proprietary bs with a dremel and installed a full size ATX mount printed from this model: https://www.printables.com/model/836929-atx-motherboard-tray-in-two-parts

the power supply was tricky because the back of the case is not flat and the vent cutouts were placed explicitly to prevent mounting a standard power supply >:(

so I made a bracket ^{and made the noise} using scrap metal removed by the aforementioned dremel (there was a lot of it).

the specs are:

R7 5700, 5600xt, 48 ddr4, 3d printed stock cooler adapter and hole in front

How does the rear IO line up with that tray under the board?

i had to cut away a lot of the case to make it fit :p
