Slight Mod

Cut four holes at the top for access to the back of the cpu - turned out I needed them as I wouldn't have noticed 2 of the pins slipped out while I was fitting the H50, this saved having to take the mobo back out.
Bottom hole for a little bit better cable managment. I'm not pleased as the 8 pin ATX would not reach properly (about 20mm to short) and some of the front panel wires are also too short, both had to be routed over the board till I get time to extend them a little.

Still needs a bit more work and tidying up but its better than it was!!
The H50 is excellent and was quite easy to fit.

While youre getting all hole-saw-happy, why not cut a hole in the bottom of your case and flip your PSU?
Would probably solve your cable length issue and might even extend PSU lifespan... Just use some kind of filter on the hole yeah?
Magnetic ones are handy, whip off, rinse, re-attatch to case, no fiddling.

Great work dude.

You don't need to with the Antec 300. It already has small notches to lift the PSU from the bottom of the case, so you can mount it either way without any modding.
