Hey guys!
I've been a long time semi-lurker here (probably around 3 to 4 years now :o). I did a few mods a while back, but never really got a hold of a decent camera until now.
Anyway, here they are:
This first one is a mod I did to my file server. I added a window in the top so that I could see the DVD's spin around. In retrospect, I probably should have gotten a black DVD drive, but the beige one doesn't bother me much. :p

The second one is a case I made out of this board that is sort of halfway between being cardboard and wood. The original intention was to make a case smaller than a normal desktop case... but I somehow really screwed up some measurements (me trying to do things too fast :p) and it ended up being much bigger than expected.

As you can see from the next photo, there is a lot of wasted space. I'm planning on building a new case in which I'm going to properly measure everything. I'm also going to try and procure a better material such as a thin steel :p. This case, although not really evident in the photos, is actually sinking into itself on one side...

Thought I'd just share this with everyone since I've been meaning to actually post something on this site for some time now :p
