Just found this after following a link in another thread. I really think these people at least need to be linking back to here or your site for credit on this.
Here's the segment on BSG from "The Circuit" TV show that aired last Friday:

Centurion 5 Mod <<--- ON HOLD FOR THE WINTEROriginally Posted by Omega
Excellent workmanship.One of the best mods i have seen.Congratulations.
I have a question.How did you make the optical drive leds to light up when a disc is inserted?I'm asking because i m working on something like this.Thanks
Thank you Spyrious! The led's that light up the optical drive are on constantly. I had aspirations of making them light up only when a disc is inserted, but never got around to it. Most standard 5 1/4" bay drives actually have disc-in, disc-out headers on their pcb, and there is a worklog on Bit-Tech by someone showing how to utilize them for lighting purposes, but I can't seem to find it right now. The slimline drive I used was difficult to work with though. Its pcb is buried underneath all the actuating arms so I couldn't get to it to see if it had any headers like that. So my thought was to mount a momentary switch at the drive's entrance so it would be depressed by the disc, turning the lights on when inserted and off when ejected.

Thanks.I will be using a slim dvdr.That momentary switch is a nice idea.
