I like the sleek look of the slot loader. I might do the same in my build.<br>

How close of a match is the color/texture to CaseLabs black?</div>

</div>

I would say color and texture are little bit off, case labs is really flat black slot loader has some shine to it ... you can definitely tell the difference looking at it but like 5 feet away looks pretty good <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.overclock.net/images/smilies/smile.gif"> stop by later i will try to upload some pictures asap.

I don't know what you mean when you say a regular optical drive won't fit? I've had two different drives in my SM8, no problem.<br>

....or do you mean you just don't have room?</div>

</div>

You are right I can see that now, thanks for pointing it out I should of wrote "I just don't have room for it" because of 480/60mm thick rad in push/pullI on top and 360/60mm in the front. Well kinda because 4 fans on top of rad will be pulling and on the bottom of the rad only 3 fans pushing even slim optical drive gets in the way. With regular optical drive there is no room for 480/60mm rad on top well unless instead of 360 going size down 240 rad then regular optical drive could go into third bay from the top. I will try to post more pictures soon to make sense of it all. <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.overclock.net/images/smilies/smile.gif"><div class="quote-container" data-huddler-embed="/t/1489899/build-log-compact-case-labs-sm8-waercooled-rigid-tubing-stainless/10#post_22282747" data-huddler-embed-placeholder="false"><span>Quote:</span>

The way I took it was he meant as a joke that a regular optical drive wouldn't fit in the slim drive enclosure.</div>

</div>

Unfortunately i wasn't joking I suck at trying to explain what I mean when writing lol

I need to get one of those. That's a good idea. I'm always using small nut & bolts or self-tappers.</div>

</div>

Rivnut tool is good to have around I don't use it that often but when I do its a life saver lol
