Do you have any that are bigger than 3.5"? I've been wanting to get one for a while for a different project. Looks like you've pretty much solved the problem of it looking off. I like the IDE cable idea to cover the modders mesh.

Ive got some... and those I have, they are OLD, HEAVY, and probly useless for this kind of mod... because if you can find a way to open them (special nuts) you still wouldnt be able to see the ''hard drive'' since its all packed weirdly...Quote:

Now this Worklog is FEATURED!
I put the Hd's on the front too.
I've STARTED painting the case. First I took it apart.
Then I applied primer.
And I STARTED on the chrome coats. I'll do at least 3 coats (sanding inbetween) over the next couple days.
congrats on the featured log....this thing is awesome.....you oughta do a windowed hd mod and mix it in with one of the others you got mounted...so you got all the non working...then just one...like say right in the middle...thats writing away
Looking good.
Seeing all those dead hard drives reminded me of this site top 5 dead HDD projects I found off a Hackaday.com link. It would be neat if you could wire up the clock one to one of the drives
That clock is sweeeet!
I dropped the motherboard in.
While painting I accidently painted the crap Video card I originally had for this system. :( It was only 64MB, but good enough for this project.
I added the square bars to the top to fill in the gaps.
I've posted those HD speakers here twice. I swear I must be the only person who tinks that's a cool idea.
On topic: The case looks awesome. Coming together real nice. I was worried at the beginning, but It is looking more and more professional with every update.
