Well I didnt have any bays let in my case so I decided to go external. I built this box today. Tomorrow I am going to sand and paint it. Here are the first couple pics of it. O yeah it is made out of balsa wood. I also had to glue in about 20 cents in pennys in order to balance it out. I am thinking about modding it a little more. More pics will come as I progess further.

ha that's pretty cool, just don't let anything fall on it. Balsa wood is so easy to break!
 
very ghetto-fabulous! :D post this on the matrix orbital forums - they have a dedicated thread just for the external MO mods!
 
here is the finished product. Instead of painting I decided to carpet is like a sub box. What do you guys think?

lol yeah its a tight fit in there but it works. good bless if you can mod a mx series on the side of the case. I thought about it and I just couldnt see it. Please provide pics if you get it.
 
Man, that's such a great idea!
