i cant say ive heard of those, i will look around to see what you mean. unless you have some pictures lying around?

It's from the cheaper Lian Li cases, someone might have a spare... they unscrew easily and like I said would fit in quite easily.

I have a G50, and they maybe cheap for Lian-Lis, but thats not cheap compared to a beige wonder! And I'm afraid my hard drive cage is occupied!

yeah im with you on the green/black thing. hmmm, i might be able to rotate a cage, not sure whats going in the front yet though, would be nice to get the hdd up there too. i had managed to mount the drive above the psu, using the vent holes for the screws. i reckon it would have been nice with a window and the drive polished.
the side was on, well not fully, it was leaning against the case so there was a little gap!

With that black interior it would be a shame not to show it off, so I'd go for the window option.

Not too sure about mounting a hard drive near the PSU though, could mean a bit of interferance, but certainly a fair bit of heat too!

PK!

sorry folks, its been a while but i have been too busy reading other peoples threads! the stuff on here makes you want to chuck your own case in the bin and start again!
anyways, i found some of this round a mates house for the front, what do you think? i thought it would be good to get rid of the shiney and smooth look and rough it up a bit with this?

looks like decent mesh, make sure it doesn't go rushy if its steel, as i've noticed that one of the drive bay extension things i took out my old case has rust on it where it'd got scratched.

would that go behind the vertical slits you've got on the front of the case?

bingo! a bit like this......

good point about rust, its gonna need a right buffing too, excuse the dirty finger prints by the way!
will need aligning a bit better too!
