removed the hdd's from the brackets, the jbweld cured nice but there were a couple of edges without "gush" because I didnt use exactly enough, so I mixed another small batch and ringed the bracket edges with some more using a small plastic card as a miniature trowel edge. She's all sealed in now and it will cure over night.

the slot load drive shipped today so I should have it by wednesday Friday, then I can figure out how to mount it

I have been scouring mcmaster for some more small parts I will need... who knew they had such a large selection of flexible exhaust hose
I love that site

Hey CR, what do you do if you screw up with the JBweld? Is there a way to disassemble the pieces that were stuck together?

Pry-bar + curse words. Lol, perhaps the dremel as Nate suggested.

Afaik, there is no solvent or anything to loosen the bond, if that's what you're asking. You just have to pry/pull/cut the pieces apart.

steps:
1) Don't screw up

if step 1 fails see step 2

2) Don't screw up

no, seriously, luckily I havent screwed up yet (yet) but I did think to myself early on in this build "what if I screwed up with the jbweld...?" I guess I'd spin up the dremel (like mentioned above) and very carefully cut away the part from the weld, then sand the weld material away as best as I could, all of which trying not to damage the case. then I would re-assess the situation.

I have one more permanent bond session to go (dvd drive) so lets hope I dont get to find out first hand about the situation we are describing

How much more bonding is involved with getting the DVD drive? This is the slot load one you bought correct?
