Metalrush: That's my dvd-rom drive. It's an ide one since I wanna keep the sata ports open for hard drives. Thanks for the compliment.
crazy8s846: if you look through the many pages of this thread, you can find how the mod was performed and pics as well as many other great ideas from the creative people on this thread. Good luck. Looks like you have to have a steady hand with the dremel.
is mbrocketries a member on this forum? or is that like a mod or something. sorry.:p:Quote:

Well, its not that hard with a "dremel" its just 1 straight line you have to cut, very easy.

As you can see. The red marking represents those 2 things on each side.
The green line is where you should cut it. Well, thats where I've cutted it.
After that. I removed the front of my dvd writer. But I only removed the front marked green, not the one which is marked red.

When that one is removed. I used glue, not a extremely strong glue. Just a simple one which you can break if needed. So glue that black foam on the red marked area and glue the front bay on the foam.
You might need to push the dvd writer a little bit back. After that. Everything should fit.
Thats how I did it then.
I did this because it was only ugly and I don't use the dvd writer very often. If I want to open it I just use a button on my google toolbar.
If there is anything else you need to know, call it! :)

Hello, all. First time poster, long time reader. This thread inspired me to do some modification to my first gen Antec Nine Hundred case.
I didn't do anything as elaborate as most of the cases I've seen here, but I did do a little cable management, repainted the case, and put in some sound-activated CCFLs.
Here's some pics:

Here's a video with the CCFLs.

Ok well got my 900 and I'm getting 2 12" UV cathodes what I want good exposure with, Ive bought a 4" UV replacement so that one 12 will be behind the top of the side door and the other bellow the rear fan. Then I'm getting a 12" red and 12" blue to fade from top to bottom so I'm thinking of places to put them without being seen through the window. My idea was to mount then just behind the border of the inside of the door.
Any ideas/photos of where you have your cathodes.
I bought one 15" CCFL and put it along the side of the case between the door and the drive bays. It's well hidden so you don't see it when looking in the window, but it lights the case up very well. I'll take some pictures of the CCFL inside my case if it will help you.Quote:

About the best you can fit down there would be a 4" CCFL.
@ Titan_X: Nice silver paintjob. I am also in the Tampa Bay area. I just finished my A+ and I am currently working on my CCNA.
@ CHiLD: I like your HSF.. I also spy a B18C.
@ Deckbuild: I am diggin' that Ultra Bay device. I might have to grab one seeing that I am not using 3 fans on the front at this time. I have a Blu Ray drive taking up a spot, and that Ultra Bay would fill in the other 2. I am waiting on slim Blu Ray drives to come down in price.
thanks! thats not my hatch on my wallpaper, but i just so happen to have a GSR hatch myself. thats a shot of RODREZ's car, he's my motivation lol.Quote:

Build complete. More than enough speed and power for doing their homework. If the kids get good grades Santa may bring them a new graphics card. I have plenty of room in this one for a kick ass GTX.
Here is a pic of the Akimbo I just installed in my 900. Adding another one in SLI next month:

I think this is by far the Cleanest Cable Management Job I have ever seen in my whole life!!!:eek:
It looks like nothing in there is powered or plugged in...
Fantastic mod & job there Rabbit! Very Impressive!!! :clap: :up:
I'm sure Kattie will be very happy with that computer. I would be!
@ sailrabbit: grats on being the cool guy in the thread.
I'm going to have to mount the Zalman fan controller box where you did. As you might remember from my past pics, I mounted it in such a way that I need to remove the side panel to adjust.
(if you really want to get nit-picky on the cleanliness, add a black vinyl sticker to the one side of your optical drive to hide the silver, and black Lian-Li thumbscrews)
Your case is so clean and roomy it's askin to throw a party.
Good job.
My recommendation is to by a step drill and a file.Quote:

cleanest holes i've ever seen, file it down to perfection give it a bit of a sand and it's smooth as, or just get u-channel moulding or grommets etc.
Best $20 i ever spent. I never thought i'd be game enough to make my own holes.
:up:
Heh.. thx guys! http://theoutkastwarriorz.com/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif
I thought about giving the DVDRW a shot of flat black, but you don't notice it through the side window so I passed. I wish I had on the red SATA cables.
where you lot mounting ur cathodes?
