No need for tinfoil tape. The LiHeat riser has sufficient EMI shielding. I DID - however - vinyl tape the riser to floor of the case. Served two purpose. One, to pin it down and two, to insulate the riser from solder points on the back of the GPU.That's [USER=313]@jottwehh[/USER] with the red four pin plug. Curious about that too. Is he running dual bricks?My setup uses a single HDPlex 160W top-dead-center power both CPU/GPU.The 160W 250W rating is deceiving. It can go to 350W no issues. 400W if kept cool. No issues powering i5 and 970. Without a doubt your choice of PSU will drive the design. Kmpkt's Orangulan brickless build could give you some inspiration. A brickless MC600 case would be huge!I hear you about not having confidence of hand tools. I was in the same boat. Nothing will be perfect. You will have to bend, smoosh, snip, and fudge some things. We all do. Just take a deep breath and go for it. Omelette eggs.I doubt it. In the orientation above the wires flow out from the HDPlex and towards the floor of the case. It's a HARD bend to fit that under 60mm. I don't see 60mm of space between the mobo edge and front panel.
