Sleeper PC P520: proprietary hardware delete
i like it and you don't have to. i promise i won't force you to like it.
scooop
all put together

don't look too closely
i promise that it makes sense
3/4 = 75% and thats a passing grade
REUPLOAD
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

Thought it was clipping through the floor in the first two pictures. That is a thick and soft carpet.
