Or how about carbon fiber paper for the drive?
You can even see the drive decal on top.:D
Bulge in front I keep talking about. Where I can hide the wires.

That might make the drive a good bit warmer...if you're going to wrap it, take cooling it into account.

I'd like a bay cover. But this case is just too small for one.
It's 9:15 in the morning here in Scotland. :)
I'm thinking that covering it will create a thin layer of hot air that will stay inside of the wrapping, heating up the drive. I don't think that painting would cause a big difference.
I'd suggest cutting out shapes and sticking them to the drive somehow, maybe with a spray adhesive so you can get it right and it won't ruin the drive.

I guess that's why your up :) It's only 2:30am here.
Yeah, I think the paper is too thick, and will hold in way too much heat.
The only thing with painting it. If I do, I really should paint all of them. Which really isn't a problem, since I only need to the 3 sides and top. Scratches worry me though. Some of them are tight fits going into the bay, and I don't want them all messed up. Hmmmmm ....
I painted my drives, and they did take some scratches going into the slots. But then again, i have a wide tray in mine, so it hides the scratches on the drives. As i didn't clear coat the drives i wasn't expecting much else really.

My drives are loose in their bays at the moment as the screw holes on the drive and the rails don't line up. I need to get around to drilling holes. Its only 8:47pm at night here in Australia.
Nice carbon fiber look.
I don't like that paper carbon fiber stuff at all. It looks cheap, no offense of course. It would make some awesome Christmas present wrapping though! :)
I would just take the plate off of the HDD and paint that either white or red. Does anyone have a link to that painted HDD on these forums or any other? The ones I saw on this forum really were awesome looking.
I think it's the attention to little details that hard core impress people. No one will be able to argue about the sheer beauty of this mod though!
I can agree with you up to the point of calling her a man. Thats just insulting! lol ;)Quote:

In other words, he finds it an attractive feature in particular.

I think I'll look for the painted drives to see how they look.

Morning, evening, and late, late show? Isn't the net great!
