Looking hot. +rep
One question though. How do you press the drive buttons? Did you re-route them or do you just use the eject command on your computer?

I built up the thickness at the front of the drive tray, and then attached the panel with velcro. this allows it to flex slightly. then I just added shim behind the panel right infront of where the eject button is. so all I have to do is press on the front of the panel which in return presses on the button.
Then to close it, I just push the button because it is exposed on the underside.

How fast do your drawers move????

Any drive I've had there is more than enough time to push the button and then move your hand out of the way of the drawer before it closes.

I would agree. If anything there is a slight pause before mine open and close after pressing the button. But I'm sure he was just being funny.

For the card reader, you could just paint it a similar color as the case, and it would look fine, unless you wanna go real crazy with it and make a flip up cover that looks like the drive covers...

Trying to type humour certainly loses something
