Man did you check out Dracos' Hardcore Hard Drive Mod, that looks cool. I think i mite give it a try when i get some time

i was having a look and thinking about it, and was wondering if the running gear from an old CD ROM drive would work for the opening mechanism maybe?

you've got the cogs and rails there for it to run along, and the motor and pulley system for the movement, as well as power and an eject button. you may even be able to incorporate the integrated software eject from within windows for the CD-ROM if you can figure out what exactly sets it off.

maybe i'm letting my brain run away with me, but some of those ideas might get you on the right road.

never thought of that vibe666 ...thats a very nice idea ...i never would of thought of that ive got lots of old cd-roms and dvd-roms hanging around ...maybe two springs to make it tilt up when it pops out but how to get it back in using the eject botton ...maybe a lenght of thin plastic or alu we say 2" in width ,which could sit above the rim of the top of the lcd "just resting on it"and the other end attached to the mouth of the opening of the drive ...so that it will push the lcd back down so it will fit back it the drive ?????
