Cathode Mount

[Lakario]

Mount is a funny word. Weeeeee<BR><BR>Anyhoo, <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.colorcases.com/cases/1605.html">my case</a> needs a mod to one of the front drive bays so that I can mount my cathode switches. I don't want to drill the case because that's nasty for the case (especially because it is alluminum). I need to make something to mount these switches on that will fill the drive bay, but I don't know what to use. I suppose I could cut up one of the face plates, although that wouldn't look too good in my opinion. Can you guys offer suggestions. By the way, the switches are round.

your link don't work for me....but yeah you'll have to drill holes for the switches...

yeah you should have an extra bay cover sitting around anyways, unless you dont have any 5 1/4 drives in your system <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> ... thats pretty much the best way of doing that <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> is drilling (most likely 3/4" holes) .. unless you are using normal toggle switches. but if you are using the big black round ones that come with many cathodes i beleive it is 3/4"

Okay, link fixed. Anyone else have another idea rather than drilling up the face plate. I only want to do that as a last resort.

Do you know anyone with a plasma cutter that knows how to use it?

[Lakario]

A plasma cutter? That sounds like something out of Star Wars... I'll ask my dad if he knows how, or if he knows anyone who does. What's a plasma cutter?

[Lakario]

Ohhh!!!! Well, I did find someone who knows how to use a plasma cutter anyhoo.

[GNXtreme]

I am gonna buy one soon...it is a must for serious mods<BR>

[GNXtreme]

Actually the bay cover wouldn't completley melt...the cutting from the plasma cutter is so small, with the right tip, you should be able to use it.

Serious modders with serious guts.
