Will keep ya posted, hey also a thought, what about taking it apart in a autoshops paint room..?? Hehehe, there is barily a snitch of dust and the closest thing to a clean room I can think of that is widely avalable, I am sure they would not care if ya use it, or drop them a $20 spot fo rthe useage

If it's for school they should be happy to see that someone is interested in technology and give you a pat on the back.

smoked1- i have to agree with your outlook on mods coming more into mainstream consumer-pc's. My dad who is an average joe who knows basically nothing about pc's.

and HIS main buying point for buying a sony vaio over any other system was the blue led on the front.

*smacks head* i can't beleive I am his offspring.

LOL. Maybe modders should be compensated in some way. I mean, in a way we are setting new standards for computers in general.

I'm in the process of windowing a hd, but when i was making the window it got scrached. it took about four hours to make so I have to figure out how to get the scratches out.

As for it being dangerous to the HD, my dad just happens to be a chemist and has access to a clean room, so I'll just have him swap covers for me.

the HD is an old WD caviar, Its pretty common and i had a dead one laying around. So i took the cover off the old one, cut a hole in it and made a window out of plexi to fit. i'm waiting for some blue led's to finish it.

How bad is the scratch..?? if it is tiny and thin take a butane torch very quickly over the scratched area, back and forth until it dissapears, I have polished quite a few peices of plexi in my day

If it is very deep or very bumpy take around a 2000 grit to the intire surface and make it look foggy and make sure you go deep enough get ride of the scratches and again take a butane torch back and forth accross it and watch the scratches dissapear before your eyes
