Thanks Hardass..

To do the drive stealthing, I cut off the tabs on each side of the plates and then superglued a piece of card bard to the insed so it is all level. Then I used some velcro to stick it on. After I put it on and knew where the button was going to be, I marked it with a sharpie and then glued a small washer on the mark so when i push down on the corner of the plate, the drive opens. Let me know if you don't understand that so I can take some more pics showing you how it's done.

Have you put a sponge in the top of that reservoir yet? If not, your system is super bubbly, correct?

Very sharp looking case! I really like that! :toast:

Hey Hardass,
To open those stealthed drives, you can also make shortcuts from them to your desktop..right click it and click eject. Or do both ways.:D

Well, its not that bubbly. I don't have much water wetter in there as it is and was thinking about adding the foam piece but i can live with a couple bubbles in the reservoir.

If you've used the DangerDen Clearflex60 hose (which it looks like you have) that's why it looks foamy in the pix... UV lighting on that tubing has a fairly wierd effect... you lose all transparenct of the tube practically... tubing itself is excellent tho...

Mine looks the same...

But guarantee the water is transparent without foam or bubbles in there...

Actually I'm using some Tygon tubing and it was pretty foamy but I just added some more distilled water and added the foam piece to the reservoir and now I can see right through the tubes.
I will take a pic. later on. I shouldn't have used that water wetter stuff. What coolant do you use Marci?
