hmm, so drive stealthing. It has got to be one of the easiest mods in the book to do right? Well thats just it, it is easy so it LOOKS easy looking when the drive is open, non professional, at least the mods i have seen. Anyway, been looking for new ways to spruce up this old and ever popular mod and i think i have a good idea. Why not go the eMac route! Although am by no means an Apple fanboy, I love the drive stealthing they do, The drive tray pushes the bay door open. I have a few ideas about going about this but i wonder if anyone has actually done it or knows of a tutorial by any chance.

Is this what you're referring to?
The Antec P150 (http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=81500#) has two CD/DVD drive bays with covers
Item #6 on their Mechanical drawing (http://www.antec.com/pdf/drawings/P150_techdrawing.pdf) lists 'Universal CD ROM Door'

i had an hp that worked like that, by no means was it stealthed, but it had a door in front of the cd drive that would pop open when the drive came out.

^^^ slot loading is too expesive, and not worth the hassle. I would only get it in like a carputer
