Compxpert Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 Ive seen/heard of hdd window mods being successful. The only real challenge ive heard about it is you can't get any dust in it when u open it. My opinion I'd like a workin hdd to have a window but I wouldn't like to mod it my self sounds like a pain in the @$$. Btw good luck and happy modding. And to all of the occ admins we need a "Keep Modding" smile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimonicka Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 I've got another in the works right now, the window is smaller and down lower cuz I didn't want to interfere with the breathing chambers that curve around the top of the hub. The shape is about done I think but still need smoothing and finishing. Dust is the biggest enemy and I went too quickly on the last try. Lesson learned I hope... here's the new shell: PS: Agree w/Holo, nothing said was taken negatively by me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruenin Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 What if you kept a fan running to blow across the surface of the HDD while it's open to keep anything from settling? Think that would help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that would help? 467966[/snapback] I would hav thought that would do more damge than good. Seeing as it would Draw air (with Dust in it!!) towards the HDD, and then push it into the platers.

Dasterdly Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 What about using canned air to spray off the dust? Nice looking mod, I hope you perfect it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 With canned air, there's the possibility of residue. Canned air is usually a mix of some sort of hydrocarbons (which compress very easily), not the regular air you breathe. So it may be free of dust, but there's the possibility of leaving a hydrocarbon residue on the platters. There's also the possibility of blowing the dust in the air, at high speed, onto the platters. Of course, then residue is the least of your problems....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
