I've been wanting to do this mod to my case since the day I got it, but I never had the balls to do it. Well I grew some and did it. As some of you might know I took the hard drive rack out and the mounts for it shortly after getting my case. Well I knew that looked cooler but the case looked too crowded with both the rack in and the regular 3.5" bay cage. So I thought I could take the cage out, but since the drive covers are mounted into the cage, that would result in me having no drive bay covers. So I came up with an idea to cut the 3.5" cage down, but I thought it was too risky. I finally did it and I'm so pleased with the results. I hope you think the same.
I also added in an 80gb WD IDE drive I had laying around that used to be in my CS:S server that I sold awhile ago. I'll be doing a couple of other things too in the next week or so. I have a dvd-rw drive that I'll be putting in along with the dvd-rom drive that I already have. That will involve more ghosting. Also, with my dad giving his old PC to my half-brother, they will be coming up to visit for Easter and they don't know about it. He would like to have Windows on that PC before they get here. That means he needs to order a hard drive. So it's possible he may take my 80gb and I'll end up with a 80-160gb SATA drive. I told him what I had was fine, but I won't complain if I got a better drive. Also, I'll probably be ordering silver or black IDE and SATA cables. I haven't decided yet, but I need a 36" IDE in order to run two removable disk drives.
