    6

    Cola fridge: 3,5-4

    CD/DVD-rom: 1

    Harddrive : 1

    Some pipes need to fit in a drive space too I think. Maybe a plexi sign too, but that will probably in front of one of the things mentioned above. As you maybe have noticed I'm not done with my computer yet. At the moment i'm just using one for the CD-rom :D

    Al ready got the 20x4 and a 240x128(not sure if i'll be using this one for this mod).

    www.modwarehouse.com
    MO form MO itself.
    TFT from http://www.digitalww.com
    Pics are on the sites.

    And no, I haven't got MSN.
    The whole concept is in the sketch phase, building the case will start near the end of the year. I've set a time of two(!) years to complete it. Mostly a money issue...

    i say 5 is a suitable amount. enough for your drives, and controllers alike. leaves room for moving around. 3 floppy bays too. more controllers and maybe a 6 in 1 reader.
