Not me.. I told you guys from the get go
Nice job gutterz I was looking at that idea for my 4U case meself.. but decided it was not open enough.
BUT...
A little modding will fix all of that.
Not to hard to turn them HDDs around, and cut out the fronts...the filter in the front grille still works. (at least it is if it is built like mine which is almost identical)
making for easy swapping. That important to me, cuz I swap HDDs like most people change their underwear
Also ODDs.. that a bit tougher.. simple enough to just spend the $25 and get a new ODD for perma mounting.. imma bit cheap like that and often share one ODD among many rigs, and only leave attached to a bench rig what I need to have it running...
All that aside.
Your kung fu is very impressive and I wish I had your modding skills. Excellent execution. ideas are meaningless without results, and dude.. you got the results
