I dunno why but i LOVE drive stealth mods. I did them to my PCs before i started modding (larger scale modding) and it looked awesome. Maybe i should do one of the PCF guides on this...

Anyway, yeah dude, very cool mod

And VERY nice case

Forgot to add my comment, sorry psYChowIt

It looks awesome dude, and its a sick case

@Ett: That would be awesome if you could do that dude

Stealthing drives makes a mod look more clean and professional

It would be perfect for a mod guide coz you don't really need any tools (dremel, Jig etc.) Yeah, I love drive steals as well they make your case so much more stylish! I love my Li!!!

More Pics:

Yeah I know I screwed up the left hand side a bit, but it doesn't look that bad in real life... weird shadow on the pic.

Looks awesom dude :bigups: You might wanna clean up that left edge though, maybe give it a sand or something

Other than that, the drives are perfectly stealthed, nice work dude!!!
Sweet case btw

I'll try fix it... Buuuuut I think it's beyond repair

I don't mind, I'm quite chuffed with my first attempt at it.

Dude, its a flipping brilliant mod dude!!!!! I know I would probably have to try a couple times to get it like yours. Bigups bro!

that looks so cool on the Li case...

and a drive stealth guide would go so good with a remote switch guide if you don't want the 'push cover' effect...

good job...

It would but not me or my soldering iron is up to that. Best part of this mod is it only took like 40min! I'd suggest it to any one that's bored and owns a brain. It's reeely EZish :stupid:

it looks really good.

Ett, do a guide on that mod.

And another thing, ett, then I can do it on my new CM 690. (Might be getting it next week)

That does look nice. Pity about pawning the side of that bezel but it still looks fine like it is.

Yes I'm pissed that I didn't get it perfect, but it still looks better than a black combo drive sitting there

WAJeff · Post by **WAJeff** » 15 Oct 2007, 14:55

A remote switch would be awesome along with this mod

I think we need DAE to show us how though!!

You don't have to have remote switches.

WAJeff · Post by **WAJeff** » 15 Oct 2007, 15:10

True, you dont, but it would make a sick little addition

psYChowIt · Post by **psYChowIt** » 15 Oct 2007, 15:38

I know how to do it (compliments of Ett.) I just can't solder little things that close together

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 15 Oct 2007, 16:00

practice then, only way, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CANT!!!

psYChowIt · Post by **psYChowIt** » 15 Oct 2007, 16:09

True, true Gonna see If I can try fix that left side tonight... Advice? Or just ALLOT of sanding?

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 15 Oct 2007, 16:18

some sanding on a flat surface. Glass preferably. Um otherwise if its dented in the front, Body filler ftw hehe
