I used the grinding stone on my dremel and then sand paper. I think it turned out pretty well. Now I just need to finish the panting and install the plastic. I'm using the top of a cd jewel case, which seems to be working pretty well. Here is a picture with undercoat on.
I have some Gorilla glue laying around here, would it be good for attaching the plastic?
It will work, but just make sure you have some clamps handy. Gorilla glue takes a couple of hours to settle. But once it's done, it's not going anywhere.Quote:

The verticaly placed CD will work fine,
it does so in my project:
offtopic: being a newbe, what does "+rep" mean?

It's just a way of letting a user know they have received a rep point from them. Rep points are the little green boxes everyone has. The more rep you get, the more boxes you get. It is a way of showing which users are helpful and trustworthy, and which ones aren't. You can give rep by clicking the black scale at the bottom of every post. Approve means you are giving positive rep, for a good mod, helpful info., etc. Negative rep is for a bad post, such as something you take offensive, etc.
Thanks a million for the explanation :DQuote:

Back on topic, the holes for the window look pretty good.
I'm diggin' the vertical mount idea. This way when you play a DVD, you can see it spin from the front of the case. Awesome.
Maybe while you've got it open, find a way to mount an LED? That would be the "over-the-top" mod that would be crazy cool.
Thanks for all the input guys. I had to redo my paint job but I'll get some pictures up as soon as its done.
hehe this mod is cool. iv seen some cd-rom mods in the past but then they get coverd up by something else within the case what makes there effort pointless. I really like the idea of displaying it front and center.
but with all that said and done, if your like me there will come a time when you forget that its open like that and somehow manage to snap it off.
maybe some of those razor spot light leds will light up the mood perfectly shining it were the cd will go when it is open. could even rig it in such a way that the lights come on when the tray is in the open position.
great mod and best of luck with it, cant wait to see the finished product :D :up:
