Shots of the PSu mount I made out of a PCI cover. I'll get pics up later of the disk drives when I get some double sided tape on them.

Before. As you can see without much metal left on the psu, it sags under its own weight.

An old PCI cover has a pre-bent 90degree angle on it, and it was just perfect for what I needed. Quick solution rather than me cutting and bending a piece like I originally planned.

Hole drilled.

Mounted up

Looking in from the top drive bay

After. Much better, much better!

Edit: Adding drive pics.

Got the double sided tape on, needed 3 layers. Looks the same for the top dvd/cd-rw drive as well.

That tape on the button, just hit the bottom corner and-

Viola!

Subtle sleekness...

Damn fine job you did on the stealthed optical drives and the fan controller.

It is water under the bridge at this point, but those LED's can be pulled from their sockets. There is no solder on them, they simply slide in and out (it's a Sunbeam, yes?) .... my apologies if you already knew that.

The point however, is moot; you came up with a killer solution - righteous, and very clean-looking.

I gotta tell ya.... that Bondo job is oustanding. From where I sit it looks like a factory-mold... now if I could just work up the nerve to give it a whirl...hahaha I'd copy you and 3xtr3m3 in a heartbeat.

...and... nice McGyver move on the PSU mount - the PCI slot covers worked like a charm.

*nods in an appreciative manner*..... yeah.... like that -->

You should give the filler a try my friend, its not that hard! Thank you for the compliments Syrillian, I appreciate it alot.

And I did find out the led's pulled out while dis-assembling the sunbeam. The stealth drives gave me a hassle, it was my first time doing that, but in the end they came out amazing I think.

Dude, outstanding job on the stealths. Most of the time when I see a stealth, the buttons no longer work; but not for you!

A rep shall be forthcoming.

This really is coming together tight Repo.

Have you got some surprises coming at us for the interior? I know you were tossing around some interesting ideas a little ways back.

I also plan on using some desktop icons that are shortcut commands to open the drive bay. Someone had posted the code on OCN somewhere and I used it. just double click and the bay opens. The tape on the button is just a backup per-say.

I'm tossing around getting some of the chrome/led hyper fans that CD used in indignity's abyss build. And a chrome 90mm for the top. But I might keep what I have and put some blue led fans behind them for a sweet turbine effect. Also planning on some blue led 80mm's for the back. With all that blue led in there I'm thinking I wont need blue CCLs + UV CCLs just the UV. I'll see how it looks with the new fans first and kind of go from there. I'm open to ideas

Got my PM from whe3ls yesterday, new mobo is in the mail!

Bought his Msi p6ngm-l 7050/610i board, now I just have to find some ram and a nice used E2x00 cpu and this case will have some new hardware

japan1 · 03-21-08

This case is looking awesome now, can't wait to see it finished. Also I've got an MSI P6NGM board, its a pretty good oc'er.
