STAGE 1) The Form Factor Mod ( and WHY?)

     The Problem is that I cant leave my creations on the dusty floor where there hidden and to place my ART on the desk takes up so much room... So I designed my own form factor to make the computer only take up the back quarter of my desktop space (the unsed part) The idea is to have the face of the computer tower, Complete with Cd-Rom Drives, Will be on the Side pannel of the computer ( where a window normally is) We start with the Lian-Li pc-60 ( the only Case, Besides the Clear PC Case by sunbeam, Wide enough to fit an Internal cd-drive sideways BARELY!)
