You don't always need such "high end" tools - just be creative, even with "just" a dremel and some other stuff you can make really nice mods to any case!! :-)

I'll second that! - speaking of which when will we see a log for your build?

I hope that all the parts will be here today, well, except some small parts, and I think I got some free time today and will start building...but I'm not 100% sure of what "concept" to go with my case, but I think I'll decide on that once I've started building!!

I fancy myself more the artistic type than the Engineer I guess. I know there are some out there that are both, but we know how rare a breed they are. While I'm an unashamed perfectionist with visual details, I still have a ways to go in other areas.

Thanks again for the input and comments inonefly. :)

np, im looking forward to the murdermod store as well :D

How about a slot load optical just over the logo?
And usb hub under the logo, if fits?

My thoughts exactly. A slot-loading drive could be mounted in any orientation, vertical i need be. Keeps the look clean too.

Maybe you can put the drive verticaly in one of the orange lines, if that's not to much of a challenge. Don't know how to exactly, but it's just an idea. ;)

You can still use a slim slot-in DVD drive for laptop, with a slimIDE-SATA adapter ;)

I didn't even think about that. That is an awesome idea. Worth some consideration/research, Charles, IMHO. I have a Dell XPS M1330 with a slot load drive, and that alone was one of the major determining factors between that laptop and many others. It's a great feature. Perhaps they'll become more commonplace as more people buy them. And who better than Charles to show the world how useful thay can be? Nobody. (period)

if you dont use slot load, i would be interested in face plates for an external burner or something like that
edit: that murdermod page makes me want to break my desk waiting

even just going to the http://www.murderbox.com/murdermod/ page makes it harder for me to stand up.

Doesn't it make an outstanding (although a bit clear) wallpaper?

Great idea. It is now my wallpaper at work. Since, in fact, I DO have a murderMod coming soon. It's my inspiration to be patient. :D

from what I have heard they had to change suppliers for some of the parts and that put them back around 2 weeks....it may open sooner but:shrug:

I for one cannot wait - I have set murdermod.com as my homepage so everytime I open the net I can check if it has been updated:yepp:

I completely agree.

This is something that's been bothering me too. In recent discussions with Nils, it was his idea to incorporate a laptop slot loading drive into the lines. Like Gab says and a few people have already done, there's an adapter card available to make it work in a PC.

While working on the visual concept it became apparent that in this case, two were better than one. :)

Toast?

It should be dark by Thursday. Now its at it's rightful domain and not a subdomain of murderbox.
