    5.25" bay reader - how to hide....?

    Currently i've hit a hurdle with my mod...i need a 5.25" bay reader, but i can only find a few, now the other thing is i don't want it to ruin the case! so does anyone have any wisdom they can share as to how i would be able to hide it? This is the one i'm looking at,

    Depending on what it is you exactly want to do with it.

    You could have a look at the akasa all-in-one 2 http://www.akasa.com.tw/update.php?t...el=AK-ALLO2-BK
    it's a bit more money and lacks usb3, but does include a fan controller and looks good in a pc.

    Otherwise you'd need to mod some sort of door for that icybox one.

    the akasa really is beautiful, and will fit in fine with alot of cases, but my only problem with the icy is that id say it sits flush with the case and any door modifications would sit out from the case and just be hideous!

    Not at all, you could just sit it back slightly, easy to do if using screws, not toolless locks or rails.
    The tricky part will be making a flip down door for it.
