After opening the case I saw a few things that had to go.

I also took off the front IO panel since I have some plans to make this more flush later on, thus saving space to fit into a carry on bag.

I have no idea what this thing is but it had to go since it wouldn't let my motherboard fit into the case.
Luckily there was only a few rivets holding it in to a quick chiseling and they were gone with the rack too.

There's one more ssd that you don't see but its tucked way up in the cd drive bay up top as I dont actually use that bay at all.
All in all I like how everything turned out as this pc is now ready to be taken anywhere in the US as _carry-on_ luggage!
