Bah! That was a square window. Notice mine also took into account that little spot by the head mount. Also has 2 curves I spent a while doing :)

Hehe, could be. I happen to have a 5.25" Quantum Bigfoot TS 12G HD sitting here on the desk beside me. :)

Bwhahaha! Someone said I should maike one with an LED, So I did :)

Muttley: It's your drive! Come see it born!


Twins?
WTF does that mean?
Need a T9 bit.
screws out!
Tossed in a bag.
holes cut.
Test layout top. ( 470 ohm resister inline )
Test layout.
LED glued in
window applied.
Now they are twins!
Running and lit
Running and lit2 sorry on the quality, my camera exposes for a while on no flash pics.

I would be happy to do this for anyone. Only catch is, if I fry your hard drive, tough beans. You pay for shipping to and from me, along with the dremmel cutting wheels and plexi I use, and it's a go. WD drives are all I have tried it with, because they have a raised lip that I can mount the window to. IBM and Conner ( man, thats like 8 years old ) both have flat tops, and probably different way to attach the head, arm, and platters to the top. I would be happy to try though :)

Too bad mine are IBMs and I'm not willing to part with them. You should start a website doing this stuff!
