Need help modding case

Hello,

I am a computer builder but Unfortunately am not a Modder.

I purchased a Lian Li PC-343B Modular case and want to Mod/change the internal cages that hold all the 5.25" drive bays. I thought I could just hire a metal worker & have them do what I was thinking but after 2 of them I am getting no where. It is very difficult to explain my needs here, but in summary just a easier way to add & remove the Devices, because the initial design of the cages in that case make it near impossible to get things in & out & have them aligned up in the front. I "would think" that something like this would be easy to make/do especially for the extremely talented Modders I see on this website.

Ideally what I would like is if someone who by chance who lives in or near North New Jersey to give me call & possibly come by so I can explain what I want done & I can pay them of course to do the work.

Please let me know & I hope this gets to someone that can help.

Again it is too complicated to explain here, so someone who would be willing to at least start by talking on the phone.

Thank you
Jeff
 
Dont know how much you want to spend or if removing hdds externally is an option, but there are a ton of 5.25 bay ==> hot swap drive bays out there. http://www.chiefvalue.com/product-_-productdetails.cv_-_item--CE00041688010060_+_ICY-DOCK-MB123PK-B-5.25%22-Hot-Swap-IDE-drive-to-SATA-Aluminum-Internal-Mobile-Rack-Black---Retail

remove hdds through the front of your case with a click and a pull (if you lock them youd have to unlock first of course)

another solution is a 4 in 3 hotswap bay if you want to cram as many drives in as you can http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2313 Should let you shove 24 hdds in the front 18 5.25 bays, if you want to buy 6 of them .. and ((24-current hdd count) if >0) hdds. Just throwing out the hotswap option.
 
Hello

Thank you for the response, but removing HDs is not the issue.

Its putting in & removing all 5.25" Drive bay devices; DVDs, Fan controllers, LCDs, etc.

Again very complicated to exlpain here.

Anyone else out there up for a challenge ? And lives in the Tri-state area ?

Thank you
Jeff
 
Use modeling clay and bondo to create a mold, then bend resin or wood over it.
