I have an old Streamcom F7C Evo case knocking about in storage, found it the other day and decided to
dust it off and build some stuff into it.
But I have ran into a problem with trying to install a slot-load laptop optical drive.
I currently have an LG GS40N which is 9.5mm height, but it appears I need a 12.7 height mm drive?
I know optical drives are old hat these days, but I would like something fitted in there just because tbh!
I can only screw one side down into the metal frame that holds hard drives etc, the screws refuse to go into the other side. Even after that the front of the drive is too low so wont work anyway.
But I think the reason I never bothered before was due to the insane cost of the drive Streamcom were selling at the time.
A quick Ebay has shown prices are still silly for what amounts to just a cd drive.
Has anyone solved this? modded it? or is it just not worth the bother?
