A smallish update: DVD drive mounting and cover
Here's how I mounted the optical drive: It sits in a recessed area of the floor, just underneath the bottom T3 reservoir.
The drive I'm using is the Pioneer K05 slimline slot-loading drive. It's a DVD player and recorder.
To mount the drive, I am utilizing this dual drive 5 1/4" bay mounting plate. Just the part above the dotted line.
Bent the tabs at the appropriate height...
... marked the holes, drilled and tapped into the floor.
Since the slot-loading optical drive is situated beneath the bottom T3 and will be visible, I needed to make a cover for it.
I did a quick cover for the lan, but it wasn't perfect. So I used it as a template to make a new one, with some
changes. This shot shows all the pieces before gluing.
Once glued, I proceeded to carefully cut the slot in front. I used the thinnest file I had to slowly widen the slot.
A shot from the end shows it's pretty straight and even. Time to stop filing!
Sanded, primed, sanded, painted, pearled, and positioned over the drive.
A bit of double-sided tape will keep it from moving around (it won't need anything more, since it will be basically locked in place under the res).
Very simple yet effective cover mate, looks very nice.
very very cool!
Some more cabling...
Here are all three SATA cables I strung up with white wires and L connectors.
I cut holes in the back cover, ran them through and plugged them in.
A close up shot. But I don't like how the cut wires show through the connector.
So I whipped up some quick covers for them...
and glued them on.
Ahhh, much better! :D
Those covers make it really nead. keep it going I really like where you are heading.
they say: the devil is in the details.
But watching you I would say:Modding is the Details.:up:
Nice work on the SATA power cables, now do the same for the data cables ;).
i think boddaker is the devil as he brings the detail!
nice work mate
wow, it just cant get wqorst so he just makes it better! :O WOOW! great man, go on :D
