Case Mod Collection
Let's clear out a few of the case mod submissions which tend to pile up in dusty corners of our submission bin: MarkCC writes "An incredibly bizarre sort-of case mod: someone recreated the computer terminals from Terry Gilliam's Brazil, using an old Mac and a 1923 underwood typewriter." We mentioned some Mac case mods the other day. And remember, if it looks fast, it might as well be fast.

Well here's a case. I've had one for almost a year now, it's great. I can take out the screws in the back of the case for the side door and leave them off forever. The side door has a handle type thing, and you just open it like it was a door. It rotates out and you pull it off, VERY easy, and it's just as easy to put back on. The hard drives have removable trays, you pull the latch back, and slide the tray out. Very easy to do while the computer is on and everything is plugged in (although for your hardwares safety I wouldn't recommend doing work in the computer while it's on.) You put the new hard drive onto the tray and screw it in, then you slide the tray back into the case and close the little latch, it locks into place. There are also rails for the 5.25" drives. You screw the rails onto the drive and then slide the drive into the case, it locks into place. Then you can squeeze the two rails and slide the drive out if you want. It's very simple to do anything in this case, and it's very large so it's easy to work in. The only problem I have is the mother board tray isn't removable, but the case is big enough for that to not matter.
