just incase you wouldent know ...
nice work! :d

Yep, I knew that!

They worked out well for the toggles. I wish there were room for 2 more of them!!

Those switches look fantastic, goby! I modded mine onto the spare front 3.5" bay; you could easily fit all six switches onto a 5.25" bay, if'n ya wanna. They look great where they are, tho.

Ya I thought about that too, but I am really running out of room for stuff . I dont have any open front drive bay slots except for the very top one with the power button....and I am actually thinking about designig a motorized tray for my PSOne lcd. for now though, I need to finish cable mgmt, and get on the false walls on, then I will probably stealth the dvd drives.

I got a ebay gift cert. for Christmas and I couldnt figure out what to get. Then I got a cool idea. I am looking to find a nice LCD touch screen around the 12"-15" range. From there I plan on putting some widgets, system specs, winamp maybe, and some custom buttons on there...oh ya, and Objectdock. I found a cool program that you can create a shortcut to open/close your cd trays. that will have to be on there, because when I stealth the dvd drives, I wont have any buttons!

anyway, I guess I just let the cat out of the bag on my future plans!

Well, you are stuffing a massive amount of stuff into this case... big as it is, it's not THAT big.

Stealth optical drives should be cool. Going to keep the mesh drive covers or going with something else?

lol...tell me about it! I got more in this case then most people probably have in 2 rigs!!

Ya I plan on using the existing drive bay cover things for the stealthing. I am going to have to drill new mouting holes for the optical drives. Becaseu in order for the mesh panel to fit I have to push the optical drives back about 3/4"-1". so they wont match up with the existing holes.

Another place you could have put the switches:

The part of the side panel that goes next to the rear HDD rack; You could have drilled holes and put them there. Think that would look pretty cool, and would put them on display too.

But your way looks cool, and is quite tidy looking too

Keep up the badass modding Goby

Kyle, if you need a "guide" on how to get them front mesh plates on, I did it to my AeroCool AeroEngine drives. LMK...It's pretty easy, and they've been attached with no problems for over a year now. Dam near a year and a half!

*CyberDruid* · 01-25-07

Looking great Goby. Congrats on getting this thread stickied--the false floor and walls are a great idea. Love this worklog!

Nice toggel switchs you have there

Your theread inspired me to paint my armor in the spring/summer. You have done some really great work on this case, I have read this thread over and over agian and you have not left one detail that i can see in your pictures overlooked. Amazing work you have done here.

Thanks! Are you talking about the long bar that goes across the front?? I was thinking of mounting them there also, and the fit but the wiring would have been a very tight squeeze!!!

Thanks, have you done any other modding to your case?

so I have some disappointing news.....

last night I decided to hook everything up (even though it nots finished yet) and it powered up and went into windows adn then....

it said one of my hard drives was missing??

only 3 of 4 were present.
I spent over an hour trying different sata wires thinking it was a bad wire, then changing power wires hoping that was it. Then I deleted my raid array (bad idea) figuring I would have to reinstall everything...

so Now I am only able to do anything in Bios. It sees the rest of my drives, but not that one ?? it wont detect it.

So I think its bad? is there any way to test this drive and figure out the problem?

I will try and RMA it to WD, but...of course the one that went bad I got from ebay and in the listing the guy asid it was new...then when I got it it had "re-certified" on it. I questioned the guy and he was like, "sorry bud, I didnt know" and he wouldnt do anything about.

So now I am hoping WD RMA's my re-certified drive.. anyone have any expierence with RMA'ing a recertified HD?

or any other ideas?

last night sucked!
