Awhile back I picked up an EBX Single Board Computer motherboard:
A neat thing about the EBX form-factor is that is roughly the same size as 5-1/4" bay. Naturally, I wanted to cram one in a drive bay. However, I hadn't done too much with it to that end, until I found this:
A hunk of metal from an old AT power supply, it happens to be bent into roughly the same size/shape as a CDROM.
Board fits in the there nicely. My brother is supposed to take a plasma cutter to it tommorow to take off the top part.
Here's the Slimline drive that is to serve as the optical for this system. 32x slimline CD drive that I scored for $4. Needs a $25 adapter to work though.
