Cd holder mod

roYal · 08-06-02, 04:40 PM

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 · 08-06-02, 04:50 PM

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 · 08-06-02, 05:20 PM

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 · 08-06-02, 05:25 PM

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.

bob_the_d · 08-06-02, 08:57 PM

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.

NTX-Zoner · 08-06-02, 09:05 PM

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.

bob_the_d · 08-06-02, 09:06 PM

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

metallica0421 · 08-06-02, 09:07 PM

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

The Spyder · 08-06-02, 09:09 PM

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

yep. I was remembering a 3 disk computer cd changer a friend had when I came up with the idea. it had a similar double door setup

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

BigMan · 08-07-02, 03:11 AM

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 · 08-07-02, 09:43 AM

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

Tbird man · 08-07-02, 11:21 AM

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!!!!

Penguin4x4 · 08-07-02, 11:46 AM

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

BigMan · 08-07-02, 01:36 PM

yeah works like a cdrom it comes out

Penguin4x4 · 08-07-02, 01:43 PM

Whoa,

Two Thumbs Up!

knif_00 · 08-07-02, 01:44 PM
