So, to end the drive space debacle, as of yesterday I have my supertransmitting supercable. Hooray!

...but the drive bay is sideways, and my new cable has plugs that kind of stick out. And where it's attached to the drive, it's perfectly aligned with a support thingy for the side panel of the case. Leaving the side panel off forever is always an option (and in summer, with my older machine, I've been known to relieve it of the other side too. But not the top; the top is, unfortunately, structural. Boo.)

So, today's mission OF DOOM was to fix this problem.

In what may be the least extreme casemod ever, my side panel is now down to two-thirds of a support thingy, my new drive is working perfectly, I've finally seen Razor, and as of this afternoon the cake is most certainly not a lie.



And, on the subject of cake and lies: Portal broken-image icons!

The trick to that would be finding somewhere here that actually sells one. Which, well, there isn't. Since some time spent slightly weakening a non-structural part of the case meant I could just use the one I had - and, by extension, my new drive - I'm fairly happy with my solution.

Plus, it gave me something to post about, so it's not all bad.
