Put masking tape on the area where you need to cut so you dont hurt the paint. And concerning the drives get a zip drive and superdisk drive and ofcourse a jazz drive. the list cna go on forever if you want it to read anything.
thanks jaguarking11 okay i really do plan to make this thing read anything. the only thing im worried about are ide an SCSI controllers so far the only jazz drive i see in ebay are scsi does anybody know where i can get them cheap in the US? also where can i get long IDE cables. im having trouble connecting the drives since the case is huge and the cable i have are simply to short. I also need a cable with some length between the master and slave would it be safe to simply mod a regular ide cable? any more drives you guys want to add to the list?
a few more updates well i ordered a bunch of stuff online. here are the fans im using i also added a coplu pairs of blue and green cold cothodes (sorry no pics) The hdd bay and cooler for the primary 80 gig has also been painted
Let's not forget the old WORM drive. I'll never forget those. Good old magneto-optical drives, so very slow, but they could fit a huge amount of stuff in the day.
They haven't gone anywhere... Sony has a 9.1GB Magneto-Optical drive out...really nice unit - the SMO-F561/S - it's a $2000 drive though.
well its been some time since i updated right now i have 2 hdds 1 dvd drive 1 3.5 floppy 1 tape drive 1 jaz drive 1 card reader i already have a 5.25 floppy drive availabel but im still waiting for the floppies so i can test them Also a bunch of my supplies finally arrived im gonna use these parts for this project and my other project as well I also modded a couple of power supplies to make them fit in the original case of the power supplies. the main ia a new 350W PSU the secondary is an old 235 W PSU SECONDARY MAIN Both power supplie have basically been mounted the same way Next step was to connect all drive together and turn it on... These computer is currently my dedicated server for my website and my pics All I need now are a few more drives and a faster connection I also still plan to tidy the wires
