Ok final update as erm its FINISHED!!! Woooooooot!!!!

Well almost I have 2 things I could do one is to extend the cpu fan cable which is a touch short. The other is the atx i/o port cover I may not get around to this for a while as my new project is to take center stage from this week.

The final thing to do was to fit the switches into place. I had a few problems the first switches were too small so I had to get some larger ones. I then had to trim the plastic guides so that they are pressed perfectly.

In normal mac cases the led is green which lights up the power switch. I went for blooo when it lights the gloo is more of a purple colour which looks even better.

Anyway on to the pics

Heres the switches being put into place:










Now for some its finished general shots:





CD Drive out in a general desk shot:



Again with the cd drive in



Hope you've enjoyed the work log. The project will have to be sold to make way for the next project in a bit so I will have to make the most of it it while its here.

Just a quickie gordy, how come you couldnt have put the CDROM tray in the normal front position?

[Knoxville]

Will you be selling the case, mobo and cd-rom all in? or just the case?

Bcos the orginal cd bays would foul the motherboard prventing the door from shutting or me putting ram in the system

I will be selling the case with the psu and the mobo and probably the dvd drive as well. This bcos the case is set up for the mobo and psu so anyone buying one would only have to get their own anyway.

If anyone is really interested drop me a line via pm/ email

Thanks for the compliments

I was wondering about the removal of the ports on the mobo how hard was this? and could yer pass on any tips?

[Gordy]

It was hard, I recommend not bothering trying to unsolder them as its very hard just use wire snips to cut the ports off bit by bit

yeh thats what i'd do.


then if ya wished ya could desolder the offcuts very easily.


ya just dont have time to desolder them all before the solder sets again.
