First picture is revealing the holes that I made in the black plastic cover and the metal frame.

I'm using a grill from ACRyan and the fan is mounted with Nexus silicon mounts.

Considering dustfilter: I'm thinking about using a black mesh (ACRyan) for between fan and grill. It might be already enough for stopping some dust to enter the case.

Next is a picture of the inside of the case. The Zotac motherboard fits in, but everything is cramped in small space. I removed the 2 small fans which were on one side. The only fan in the case will be the big 14cm. The PicoPSU has a very tight fit between the memory and the powerswitch at the front side. Nothing is mounted yet.

I had a dissapointed with the second-hand powersupply, a 150w Dell ADP-150BB B. I thought it would be with 4pin powerconnector like this (Kycon KPPX-4P):

So I ordered a Kycon KPJX-PM-4S-S chassis connector for to build in the case. However, I discovered the connector to be a square shaped 6pin type. I guess only used by Dell.

I've removed this connector now. The DC powercable contains 6 wires. 2 of them (yellow,green) are obviously signal wires, because they're very thin. I discovered that when they're connected to ground then the powersupply switches on. The 2 thick red and braun wires then carry the 12v and the 2 thick black and white are ground.

I'm ordering a Kycon KPPX-4P. Hopefully it's not much trouble attaching it to the cable.
