So they drill new holes in the case?

 

You kinda have to if you use screws.

Hey guys

 

So i've read alot of topics about people making PSU covers out of different materials. 

But one thing i cant seem to find out is - How do u guys fasten the cover? 

 

I want a simple way of fastening it that isnt too permanent.

Velcro that sht!

Personally I'd make a magnetic mount using some neodymium magnets mounted to the back of the shroud and have it just stick to the bottom of the case with a paring set if you've like very specific placement of the shroud every time. 

 

Just an example: http://damacleod.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/jazzmasterday09_07.jpg
