Very sweet. I'm going to have to order one of those drives and try it myself. I think it should go well in my plexi case. I wonder if I could get a small EL strip to work around the outside of the Window.

Did this a few weeks ago. I was done in somthing like 45min that with paint drying and all ;) Used the backside of a CD cover for the window as it's very thin. You need to use a thin material for the window otherwise it will start hitting spinning parts of the drive.
