So between wrench, dremel, and chisel, I finally got that out after much labor. It had some nuts to remove, but also some rivets IIRC. The first part I removed was the metal divider bracket that is between the optical drive and power supply. Mahdiy85, the first thing I did to take the shelf out was remove everything removable from the chassis (brackets, cabling, etc). (sorry about the quality of the pics, I only had my cell phone with me.)
Several reinforced cutoff wheels later, we have this result.
Once the tray arrived, I marked the rear panel of the case with my sharpie and went to work cutting it out with the dremel. I decided to go with this tray, from mountain mods in the 2x80mm configuration. Once I got to this point, I decided to order an aluminum ATX motherboard tray to use, basically replacing the Mac Pro's rear panel. This required removing the cabling, covers/panels, and the "divider shelf" between the top and bottom of the case. To start off modding, I stripped the case down to just the enclosure. Hopefully the mod will be unique and turn out well. It looks like almost all other Mac Pro mods I've seen have been conversions to MATX or are ATX, but don't allow multiple video cards. Since I have a P6T Deluxe V2 and am running SLI, I will be converting the case to ATX, with all 7 slots available for use. I plan to transfer the parts I currently have into the Mac Pro case when done with the mod.

I got a Mac Pro case for free that was "damaged" (power button came loose, easy fix) and have decided to make it into an ATX pc case, since I think it's a cool looking case.
Hello all fellow modders and enthusiasts.
