Back to that in a few

tomorrow I will line the drive to the slot and jbweld the brackets - among 900 other things

Hey Cattle Rustler got a question, what slimline Slot loading CDrom did you get? Also I see you got an IDE adapter for it, did you look into a SATA adapter? I was comteplating geting a slot loader for my computer but its hard if not impossible to get a 5 1/4 slot loading DVD-RW. I was looking into getting a slim slot loading CDrom but It seems that you cant find an Atapi 50pin to Sata adapter, dont want to go IDE, but they only seem to be available in austrailia and it would cost over $100 with shipping. I would have to say if you could find a SATA adapter it would make it a little easier with cable routing.

PS It is coming along very nicely. +rep

thanks

the drive is Panasonic UJ-846, from centrix-intl.com They shipped fast, ups. As far as the SATA vs. the IDE converter, I feel you, but I didnt see a SATA option so I am forced to go ide. Ill just get a rounded cable

since this case is so custom and cables arent an issue anyway its not a big deal to me. Good luck with your case

I actually decided against the Slot loader and went with the Lian-Li cover which I think looks good. Although I have put my mod on hold due to fact that I have to go back and have the doctor cut open my foot and remove more of my toe bone that is infected so I be out of work for another month and cant spend any more money on toys. Hopefully the wound will heal as fast as it did the first time and maybe I will be back at work sooner. I cant wait until I can get this freaking IV out of my arm 3 months and at least another 6 weeks after the operation. Well at least your coming along and I will have good things to read.

MORE! We need more! Seriously now, this is epic man, you're making me want to mod my case, which is impressive since im lazy and have NO modding experiance. I think im gona start small with the now "classic" 900 mod of cutting cable management holes and possibly spraying the interior black. + Rep for the inspiration......You should start a PC case buisness or something, i think these would sell well on the net

Thanks for the kind words mate

You are on the right path, start small, like you said, with a simple cable mang project, then maybe add a fan blowhole, and a window, and work your way up. Thats how I started, and I am sure thats how a lot of people here got their start

Too bad selling "Intelligence" cases would be illegal, unless sanctioned by Valve of course

sizeak · 08-10-08

get them to sponsor you? Or sell the idea to them, I mean you've already got the prototype, looking at how popular TF2 is atm itd be an epic marketing move on their part. Special Editon TF2 pc's with it preinstalled etc........Live the dream lol

CattleRustler · 08-10-08

thanks for the inspirational ideas sizeak
+REP, your first one
