WOOKIE1212 Registered: 01/19/07 Posts: 137 Loc: Zurich,Dietikon	hy.. now my HDCage is finished..it looks very cool.. i have some pics...i also removed the stickers on the HD..so it looks shiny and very professional without those stickers on it.. when the mac is running it looks so cool because the CCFL on the bottom is shining inside the case..so the hDCage is glowing a lil bit what do you think?

Drives are built within specific tolerances, and atmospheres. You alter that balance, and you can kill the drive. _________________________ Electricity tastes good. No, seriously.
