:(
I spent money today at DIT. More than I had actually planned on. Here's what I bought:
  • Devanni Nitrous 7150(?) Black Aluminum Mesh Case, $88
  • Black Sony Floppy Disk Drive, $10
  • Black LG CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive, $40


I had to buy a new floppy drive because the new case didn't come with little hiders and it would look bad to have the beige against it.

And I had fun with the front panel USB connector. It was designed for a sane motherboard, but of course, mine is not. I had to drill out the key and re-wire the connector. It took over two hours to rewire the thing. Now I still can't use the IEEE 1394 or the front audio because my motherboard doesn't support them... Erg.

That's not to mention my fun with the motherboard and IO shield. The IO shield that came with the computer is very similar to the one that goes with the motherboard, but the case has the pop-in IO shield, like most recent cases. When I took the case out of the box, the IO shield popped out and into the case. It took at least an hour to get the thing back in. Then, I tried to install my motherboard, and it pulled out the IO shield again. Then I realized that I was missing a standoff, plunked it in, and finally got it all in. Then I tried to toy with the front panel a bit. The bezel has a blue light that shines at their name in the bottom of the case. I wanted to spice it up and add some other colors, maybe even relocate the HDD LED. Then I noticed that the LCD on the case had the HDD icon, but it didn't work if you connected the actual LED to the designated spot on the back. So I said screw it and it's just the LCD now. Then I tried to use the Power LED's other connector on the motherboard, and then the actual power LED doesn't light, but my amber HDD LED from my old case does. I think I need to fing some real modding supplies, not just reusing the stuff I already have. XD

Well, It's after 3, so I should hit the hay.

Seeya.
