    Ok thinking of modding my Midgard over easter.

    Been thinking about what I'm going to do and since its my first mod dont wana do anything too drastic possibly a simple window and this little idea to begin with.

    Thinking of trying to hide my DVD drive with one of the pop-outs that come in the case that you remove to insert the drive ( not sure the name).

    So far I think I'm going to need to :
    1. move the drive back currently sitting flush with the front of the case.
    2. cut down the pop-out so that it sits flush over the drive bezel.
    3. find a way to attach the drive bezel to the drive.
    4. find away to eject the drive threw the bezel, possibly a piece of black plastic poking out of the pop-out to push the eject button.

    Anyone tried this before or got any ideas / suggestions?

    How about a slot drive DVD. Virtually nothing is seen that way.

    all you have to do is cut a slot in one of the drive bay blanks.
