I'm considering replacing my Anovos motherboard with a GBfans aluminum motherboard. Has anyone tried this and would it fit? Are there any other alternatives?

I bought one of those earlier this year. Took a long time to get it, and when it arrived, it was covered with deep scratches, and didn't have any of the mounting holes pre-drilled. Was also missing the cutout for the square speaker grille... I ended up not using it, as it would've been more work to retrofit than I'm equipped to do with my tools on hand.

If you're on Facebook there's a guy in the Anovos build group selling them:

Could try selling the motherboard to Sl!mer if you ended up not using it. I'd cut off the brackets that came with it and pop rivet new ones. If all the brackets are straight/not stripped and aligned and you wanted to keep them, just use the original plastic motherboard as a stencil on the aluminum one. Not a big fan of the square speaker hole I'd prefer not to have it.
For people that live in apartments I'd kinda get not wanting to mess with it. I've seen neighbors complain about walking up the stairs too loudly much less power tools.

Thank you for the review. I'm ok with no pre-drilled holes, and no square speaker grill (He mentioned on his blog a lot of people not wanting it). But, the deep scratches and long wait time isn't cool. If you do still have it you could send me pics and how much you're willing to sell it for.
