Epic build, I have to admit the milk crate is a perfect case, plenty of ventilation and easily stackable! But have you ever fitted a full size PSU into a compact pc case - including cutting all 24 motherboard connector cables and splicing them to a compact connector?
Compact connector left, standard right. Confusingly different pin out but it eventually worked!
Impressive.
Oh wow that must be some PC manufacturer connector like from Dell or whatever. Not a generic PSU.
That's one of the reasons I stopped buying brand name computers. All of the components are built only to work on their machines.
Glad you got it working though.. haha
