Got my cd holder mod done check it out if ya got time

Cd holder mod (http://www.oxelosund.com/lejonen/rb/jukecd.html)

[roYal]

very well done and unique. I've never seen someone do that before and it looks good. Doesn't that ruin the air circulation though?

[NTX-Zoner]

You could fix any airflow problems buy taking another cd rom chasis, gutting all the works out and cutting the matching cut in the bottom and sealing them together

[BigMan]

doesnt cut the airflow running watercooled :)
and my radiator fans blow to the sides and not through there so it doesnt really matter :)

if i wouldnt have that the front would be closed anyways :)

[Tbird man]

perhaps you could attach some 5.25" blanking plates to the door so when it closes it covers it up?

You know what would be really cool... making it motorized; you push a button, and the bay cover opens up, and the cd's are on like a track and they roll out. You could probably easily do it with Lego's or Techniks or something.

Sorry, I've been in the wondering stage right now for modding... LMAO.

is there any way to get that kind of mod without leaving the front ugly? i mean the mod itself is cool, but personally i thought that it would look better if it had some kind of door or something that closes when you push it back in.

If there was a way you could keep the tray ejection components live and powered after the conversion, it wouldn't be too difficult to hinge a pair of bay covers, spring load the bottom one and then connect the 2 via a small pulley. That way, you trigger the tray to eject, the tray pushes the bottom bay cover open which also opens the top one at the same time.

ah... sorta like one of those cd-rom drives that pops down the front door when the tray ejects, right?

i dont really like the black i would have gone blue or red but its still WICKED COOL man!!!!!!

If you could chop off the inch extra on the spindel, make it take one drive space it would be great :-D

lol, I was thinking the same... unless he will use that remaining space. :eek:

[BigMan]

the tray works good so i could actually stealth it


i like the idea chopping it down to only one 5,25 bay gonna look into that

[Army_Of_1]

very unique, sweet idea. I like it... I also like the idea of putting a motor and having the CD's pop out when you push a button, now that would make this thing *WICKED COOL* ... it already is but still ;)

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!!!!

[Penguin4x4]

So this thing actually pops out like a regular CD-ROM?

[BigMan]

yeah works like a cdrom it comes out

That looks good when it's all lit up but the idea . . . kindly tacky. :eh?:

[Penguin4x4]

Why not glue drive panels on it? Stealth it and it'd be perfect, IMHO,
