So, in order to flip the motherboard-tray... you only have to take 3 rivets out, drill holes on the other side, and just flip it? is that all?? sounds pretty simple to me. smile.gif

How about cutting a window in the side panel, do you have any special recommendations to avoid damaging the material/finish??

how do you operate the dvd drive??

below the dvd drive, is that a 3 1/2 bay? do you see any problem installing a 3 1/2 bay multi-Card Reader?

where did you find the brush aluminum to do the front custom panel?



now that you have had both (the black Tj07 and the silver one) which one did you like the most? I see a lot of black one online, so I'm thinking of getting a silver one


Final question

Not that it matters... but, who came first? (the chicken or the egg) Both builds have many things in common

1. Flipping it sounds simple until u try it. Ur hands will start shaking at the thought of drilling a rm1300 case. It also requires precision work to remount the mobo tray accurately
I think I'm going to be more worried about cutting the side panel... but we will see

BTW how did you attached the plexiglass to the side panel? (double side tape?)

3. Just press the alu panel where the button is. Alternatively u can just right click the drive Icon n select "Eject"
I was aware of the eject function inside the OS... but I didn't though about pressing the side panel tongue.gif

5. Brushed aluminum comes from Lian Li side panels I bought.
That's a pretty good idea, I was thinking on using the the material taken from the window cut / side panel... but I was worried it will not be enough (also no room for mistakes)

I did my mod waaaaaaaaaaaaay before Murdermods. Looks like they ripped my ideas big time. Actually quite a few companies ripped my idea for the front panel. Scan UK did it with perforated panel and stealth DVD too.

lol... take it as a complement!

I did a quick search in google image for "Scan UK" but couldn't find it

thanks a lot!

oh wait, you forgot to answer one question biggrin.gif
Base on your own opinion / personal preference... which case looks better: the black one or the silver one?
