Just a quick question, is your hard drive window flush with the cut out or is it behind it?

He might have followed this tut but he got it from somewhere else so those aren't his pictures. But the HDD window in the picture is flush.

yes the hdd is flush. you can tell because theres not a little drop down from the cut to the plexi.

i have a question though could you use a short cathode or would it draw to much energy. because i dont like the spot light effect i like a nice even glow. i can cut the cathode tube and insert inside the case without the tube
