Guide Lian-Li Floppy Disk Stealth

every one is entitled tou their own opinion and thank you for the comments,

i don't like the stick on jobies cos you can see the drive colour under and around the flap.

I use the pre-mod Drive bezel screw in one. No beige poking through. ( except for the door ) and very sturdy. But very pre-modded.

 

v true, but i sprayed mine silver!



Looks pretty unremarkable but works well.

 

They are called spring plungers or sometimes spring catches... you can find them at most hardware stores.

 

Not too shabby..

A rather nice guide. Well done.

 

Cool trick! I used to do a deal kind of like that on car CD player back in the 80's. I would cut an old cd in half and glue it to the back of a stock radio faceplate with all the knobs superglued back on. To make the cd player stealth when it was not being used, you just slid the cd on the back of the cover into the slot on the CD player and it looked like the crappy factory radio. Then nobody would break your windows and screw up the dash in your car!!

 

Hehe, nice idea!

 

jeez! that is awesome. i been looking for a fully stealthd floppy conversion for a while. cheers!

 

Not a problem always happy to help

I want to try something similar on my 6 in 1 card reader for my lian li - any ideas what i could use instead of a floppy drive?

Thanks

 

Get a crappy 4mb card of some variety and do the same thing, or even a piece of plastic/cardboard cut to the same dimensions would work

 

very good mod, I dont have a floppy drive anymore coz there just look naff. I would have one if it was stealthed tho coz they still come in handy

 

Anyone know the purpose of the "Sticky Back Mirror Foil"?
thanx!

 

i got it from a furnature shop it sticks on a cuboard door, instant mirror.

used in the mod to make it look nive.

cheers AW3K

 

excellent idea. gonna hound some hardware store employees until i find those clicky things. maybe ill do this...maybe ill screw it up...that'll be good times.

 

Hmm... I like the idea, quite a lot actually. But I think it can be improved on.

If you were to put a pivot of some sort near the bottom, such as by putting a stud through each side into the bezel, you would have a flip down cover. Then you could use a short section of flippy, one long enough to catch inside the slot, but not so long as to block another floppy when flipped down instead of the full disk. Now you have a stealthed drive that isnt detatchable.

 

where did u get the push click latches from? i have a plan that requires them!

 

I have an all acrylic case, I wonder if I could make this work with a clear cover and not make it look too stupid. Maybe I could install an led close to the drive bay so the light takes away from some of the drive showing through. whatcha think?

 

wow now thats good

 

Nice looking mod...
But... u can't use ur floppy disk...
