How easy is it to replace a MB tray in a case???

I love the Element q, but not the 1 slot, can I get a MB tray backplate combo and put a 2 slot in???

How would that work?

You'd have to make the entire case wider for a start.

There is some room to scoot the mb over opposite of the slot...

There's a lot of internal framing that'd get in the way.

If you're willing to work at it hard enough it may be possible, but there wouldn't be much of the original chassis left.

Why do you want two slots anyway?

A duel slot GPU...

Which dual slot GPU are you going to install in there that'd:-

Not cook due to the limited space and airflow?

Run on the low capacity PSUs you can fit in there?

There must be a more modern case that'd suit you better.

I love the EQ size, if I found a 2 slot that size, I would love it...

Jesus H, that thing is massive. There are plenty of dual-slot ITX cases out there which are smaller.

Ya, but with PSU space in the front, that is just odd... A briefcase would make a excellent case... These are great dems. (inches) 17.7 x 13 x 4.3 inches, just riser the gpu... Plus, no APU/iGpu, I want a real gpu...
