    A while ago I a saw an article (by an Australian guy I think), which I am sure was on this site about someone making barrel shaped case out of stainless steel with a SFF motherboard inside and a slot loading drive in one end. I have spent quite a while looking for it and I cant find it, does anyone remember it and know where it is?

    Probably WMD by G-nome, don't think the article has been ported over to the new site yet.

    It's in progress - it's not a short article...

    I know, its a good one though :). Any idea how long its likely to be - days/weeks/months?

    It must be a pretty hefty backend changes, it sounds like your having to port these articles from one database to another by hand?

    It's formatting related: it's not just the pushing of the information from one place to another, but the way the HTML is. That particular article has 200-300 photos from memory, all of which have to be resized to fit the new layout.

    It's hard for me to give an ETA - it's certainly not going to be days, now that my main hard drive died on me suddenly last night. Luckily, I have a copy of the text file on my laptop... PHEW!
