How do we feel about CD-ROM drive mounted right in the cabinet.

You know, I love the way you asked that question. How do "we" feel about it (versus how do "you", the individual reader, feel about it)?

http://www.rabidhardware.net/index.php?id=2 this is a link showing how to do it but the concept is easy.

Cut a rectangle the EXACT size of your hole in the cab, Recess the CD rom so that when the rectangle you cut out is attached it sits flush with the rest of the cab and attach with appoxy ect.  There are also multiple ways to use the button (you can relocate it to a hidden spot, use the eject button in windows or create a button on the stealth plate)

Thats your best option imho

That's what I was going to suggest. Definetly the best solution, IMHO.

SirPoonga:
Another alternative it to get a decent sized hd and alcohol 120%.  You can mount images as though they were drives.

tristan:
No CDs on mine. Ill have a network jack on the back, and USB headers hidden under the lip on the front. If I ever need a CD drive (or a keyboard or mouse), I'll plug in an external USB one.


TOK:
If you're going to pop it out to hold a beer, its cool. If you're going to actually use it as a CD drive, put it somewhere else... Anywhere else.
