I'm about to do the same upgrade but I was curious how you dealt with the Y-Axis motor. From what I've seen an 80w tube would bump into the y-motor. Here is a picture of my 55w (They claim it was a 60 but it's a 55w tube)Attachment 274222

I took a look at my X700 and the motor is not in the way. You most likely have an M500. The difference is that the tube in a X700 requires an extension to the laser covers to hold the bigger tube. Without the extension the motor is in the way as the mount it directly behind the motor. See the photo that I took of my X700, in which the motor is mounted 180' away from where your motor is in your pic. You may be able to move your motor mount to look like mine. Good luck

Sorry, I did not give a reply on mounting of the Reci HVPS for the laser. I had to turn mine 90 degrees from how the original Redsail PS was sitting. I also had to make new mounting holes for the new PS.
