Mounting case faceplates on cdrom drives:

[mckeller]

Does anyone know a website or have any info on how to mount a case faceplate on a cd drive to give the case a "stealth look"??

Thanks

there are 4 steps:
1, break off tabs
2, grind off lip on back
3, use some double sided tape to stick it on the door
4, move the cdrom back until it become flush with the rest of the bezel.

ummmm....how do you get to the buttons if there is a faceplate over it?

How about a case with a door like an Antec SX1030 or SX830 ?

Buttons...I don't know anybody who uses the volume on their CD-ROM. As far as the open/close button goes, you have two options.
1. You learn where the button is on the drive and you press the bezel there to hit the button.
2. Use the eject feature on the appropriate drive through windows.
I am most likely going to set up some "stealth drives" on my Lian-Li PC-60 when I get it. Can't have that beige ruining my all-aluminum case.
