I need the replace the tiles at the bottom of the gap for the ports with black ones, but I haven't got any yet.

Hidden CD tray finally installed! I'm extremely happy with how well this works. I used No More Nails to attach the CD drive to the bottom of the case (with bricks in between in case I want to re-position it). While the glue was still wet I put double-sided sticky pads on the front of the tray and then pushed the hidden panel into place. This meant everything was pretty much square, and I could make minor adjustments to get the tray ejecting smoothly before the glue set. Here's a video showing it working:

Whoa!  That is cool!  Very slick.  Can't even tell where the drive is until it comes out.  Then when it goes back in it matches up perfect.  Good work!

Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.

Well done.  Truly a work of art.

@Moto:

Brilliant case! :-)  Lego makes it possible. Just imagine Lego turning this idea into a commercial product....

The white lines seem to work quite well.

Thanks for the compliments guys :pint: Now that the hard parts are over, I'm looking forward to getting this finished!

I'm actually surprised they haven't, or at least updated their range to make things like this easier, for example bricks with embedded LEDs or switches, and bricks without studs on the top.

Yes, they not only work functionally but are a great design too. Thanks for the tip :-D
