Out of the failed drives I've disassembled, Hitachi's are the ONLY ones I ever found to have dust bunnies with/on/around the hard drive platters (dust that made it in despite the small filtering element). I'm not a fan of Hitachi drives or anything that has an IBM or Lenovo badge on it. Just my opinion.
That drive is from another computer is is only for testing purposes The nice thing about this board i decided to use is its fully SATA capable and i have 3 sata drives sitting around but i keep forgetting to get sata cables when i'm out. So in the final version it sould be sata run.

The sata cables will give it an awesome clean look vs those IDEs.

So far, it's looking awesome man!!

Went and picked up a bubbler and aquarium rocks today, the rocks are blue and green, no pic of the bubbler. Probably going to need more rocks before i'm finished.

Nice. You should have a little scuba diver guy and a treasure chest at the bottom.

I'm kind of going to steps back 1 step forward today I bought a sata cable the other day and i'm now preparing a sata drive for the computer. But i had to take everything out so it wouldn't over heat. My oil came yesterday and i'm very close to being done. I have only one other issue, the power button is down inside the tank when its all set up so i need to lengthen it or something.
