I'm workin' on making a Sony Clie look like a floppy drive, so basically, I'm putting all of the parts in an empty floppy drive. I'm having some trouble, tommorrow I'm going to Lowe's or Home Depot, well, maybe. Problems I will run into: cutting holes in the floppy drive.
Any recommendations are welcome. Pic:

So you're saying I could use a dremel to saw through the metal?

Yeah, I accidently broke a screen wire, well a wire that provides information to what rotation the screen should be. I'm going to reconnect it though. I must say that this is the first "take-apart" project that I was actually being careful about. The screen wires are very thin though. Anyways, I [i]did[i] have it working completely outside of the case. I'm going to fix that wire. Check back for an update.
