Murdermod Zeus style

Man that looks so awesome!!

I couldn't even tell there was an optical drive in there! I especially love your use of the mesh in the midplate.

Job well done, I can't wait to see it with your other parts inside!

the dvd drive is wonderfully executed Zeus

Thanks, it was a bit of work but it was worth it.

Wow, looks great.

Could you do me a favor and take a picture of the underside of the mid-plate to see how you fastened the mesh to the plate. I really like the meshed look there. Double-sided tape?


Also, it looks like you abandoned the idea of using the Lian Li optical drive cover. How did you stealth it? Double-sided tape to front of tray?

I was afraid of this question coming.

Actually i didn't take pics from the underside as it doesn't look that great. I've thought about using double sided tape but sticking that to mesh would attrack way too much dust so i opted for hot glue.
Here you can see a little of it:



The dvd drive is quite a story in itself.

Basically, i removed the original front, sanded down the part that's on the drawer (don't know if that's the right word?). Then i took a black plastick bezel of an old pc, cut off the sides, drilled 2 holes in it (countersunk) and then drilled 2 holes in the "drawer" .
I screwed the plastic bezel onto the front of the drawer with 2 hammond box screws, took a bezel of the TJ-07, cut off the sides with the dremel and placed it over the plastic bezel.

Tight fit so no need for glue or double sided tape.

I hope you understand, i didn't take any pics during the process, i should have.

Thank you, it was all part of my masterplan.

The mesh was an idea i came up with when i mounted the midplate, i didn't like the look of the 3 large holes actually.

The topgrill is just big enough to cover up the holes when hacked into 2 pieces, really only just, one slip of the dremel should have screwed it up, fortunately i managed.

Thank you for the prompt response for both of my questions.

Actually, I think that is a very neat job you did with the hot glue and mesh.

Also, it sounded like quite the process for the optical drive cover. Nothing is easy with that. I wish they would make a bay cover like Lian Li.
