It's nice to find someone else that likes to conceal their drives also!

ramodkk · 05-08-2008, 01:12 AM

Is that what you did with your optical drive too voyager?

Yup. I should take some pics with the drives open so you can see where they are. (First and third slots)

I was able to do it with my MadDog burner pretty easily. My LG, not so easily. I couldn't get the front panel off, so I just used an adhesive tape to get it on there.

I didn't have an double sided tape

So I super-glued weather stripping to the drive cover and used the adhesive on the other side to mount it to the drive.

The only problem I've faced is the need to eject/insert a CD during boot-up. In Windows I use CD-Tray-Pal and some shortcuts on my G15 to open and close my drives, so when Windows isn't running, I can't eject the drive. I need to pry the bottom open and use a pencil to press the button.

Woah, thanks for all of the comments guys.

To answer some questions.

I used this window edging, they ship to USA too

I will attach acrylic to the panel using no more nails double sided tape

To make my stealth bay, i first ripped off the stock dvd drive face, i soldered a switch connected to a bit of wire, put the drive back together again. I then had to cut and sand down an old lian li front bezel, and then i stuck it to the drive using the same no more nails tape.

This means i can open the dvd drive using a button and not having to do it through windows

I used a dremel to cut everything

My fan controller and acrylic came today, so i will make a stealth mod for the sunbeam rehobus like i did with the dvd drive soon.

Thanks for your interests
