well, i just bought a sheet of 32x32x1/16" lucite. Time to go find a guinnea pig hd.
Edit: Yes! first post on a new page. lol
Another edit: Here's my attempt at a window for my hd:
http://www.geocities.com/robsmods/hd.jpg - img doesnt seem to be working very well. here's the url.
I want to try one of maxtor hard drives to get that cut out in the top. This is a really old maxtor (120mb) so i had to replace the whole top because there was no pattern to cut out. It turned out all right, but i needed to clean it better (lol, dust on the inside). THhe foam around the edge looked like crap so I put some electrical tape on the sides to cover it up. I lost the screws a long time ago (I took the top off a few months back when i was thinking of doing this before) so i just grabbed a bunch of cool-looking red screws and jammed them in there (so long screw holes). It still works more or less. I cant decode the jumpers so i never got it working as a primary hd. as a secondary it would come up as empty, 120mb free. from what i recall i had formatted it so this is fine.
Now I think it's almost time to move on to my 2 or 4.3 gig.
