Finally I managed to upload the photos!
Here's the update:
Day 7 - I sleeved my first cable
I didn't do much today, I began planning out the layout for the CCFLs and the inverter. And... I sleeved my first cable
While I was messing around, I was getting desperate because I couldn't find a place to put the CCFL inverter, I'd lack appropriate location to put it. As I turn the drive support and find a perfect spot to put the PCB at least
Under it
It's not easy to install it once the CCFLs are in place, but since the cables are long enough.
And those will be sleeved
Here's the cable I sleeved, my 30cm round IDE cable, I had to remove the rubber ends because those wouldn't let me bend the cable enough... and I regret not taking the rubber sleeving as well, because its a PITA to bend the cable to reach the DVD-RW since it's so rigid.
Here are some photos of the "to-be" layout of the system.
That red SATA cable is not going to be the one I'm using but that's where it'll be placed, connected to the original 360 HDD port, and I'll sleeve it green.
Here's a shot from another angle. here you can see the CCFL inverter PCB stuck under the tray.
Here I have the IDE cable in place.
A view from the back
And a shot in detail... it was supposed to focus the IDE connector... not the cable behind, but I was already late for dinner lol
One side detail: On the above three shots, you can see that the DVD-RW is not seated properly, that is due to the RAM being too tall. I'll see if I can get a very low profile DDR2 RAM, they are even shorter than the clips that hold the RAM in place
That's all for today gents. Thank you for watching and tomorrow there will be more
