I'm looking forward to seeing that case Daz! sounds like it's going to be sweet

[Dazbo666]

Thanks Mntsnow!!

I worked on it right thru till daylight one night last week....
but I've still got some spaghetti showing, which is part of the reason why I'm gonna put the custom logo on the drive cage -
I can improve the view thru the window, but mainly it's to hide some of the cables. ;)

Will keep ya posted!

Cool

np ;)

I'm stealthing the CDRW tonight, then finish off painting the DVD front, and hopefully doing the drive cage cover and deciding the final window design over the weekend....

Can't wait to see it Daze.

[Dazbo666]

Neither can I !! hahaha :D ;)
One idea that shouldn't be too difficult to cut....
Something like this.... (just one design amongst many!!;))

...and the text for the drive cage cover....

[Mntsnow]

I'm getting excited to see this project completed!

[Dazbo666]

heehee!!

the stealth cover for the CDRW has been de-clipped, filed and sanded ready for vinyl dye later - I'll be repainting the DVD drive front at the same time....

I'll be trying to at least start the drive cage cover on the weekend too - just gotta double check that there's enuff clearance between the cage and the side panel.

I'm hoping to be able to edge the window with blowhole trim, cos I don't like the thick molding. But this means I've gotta mount the window on the inside of the panel, which means there's less space for the drive cage cover....
Does this plan/pic make sense??
