No rest for the wicked. The next task was to work on the front of the base and figure out the DVD drive and retractable LCD mounting. At this point the LCD had not yet arrived, so I made a simple cardboard box substitute to the same dimensions.
Here is the simple cradle I designed to house both the DVD drive and LCD box. If you're wondering why it is blue, that's just some spare plexi I had laying around. Don't worry - the final version will be black to match the rest of the case.
In the end, I had to make two separate mounts because LCD is designed for a 7-inch drive bay while the DVD is the standard 5.25" wide.
