I live in Australia, I think I paid $377. Because we are so far away from everything, importing something that size would be too costly. No expense was spared with this build, money wasn't really an issue. Anyway I don't want to hi-jack the thread, good to see another A77 owner

Just the front cover which is easily removable and of course the side panels. It did feel weird cutting up a case that cost almost $400 just minutes after getting it home...

Very nice build! I pretty much did the same thing, although i used the norco 5 in 3's and am running windows 2k8r2 I spent a lot of time deciding on the OS, because i have always wanted to play with raid, I ended up going down the windows route and used a areca 1880ix-24-4gb raid controller. The way i got rid of the tabs was to get a hacksaw and cut them out. As you can see below For drives I am using Hitachi 4TB Coolspins, have 6 in there ATM. To mount the SSD i got some strong velcro with adhesive backing and stuck it to the back of the motherboard tray Here are some more pics of the beast. I went a little over the top and added water cooling.
