I've wanted to stealth my pc for ages, and I know how to do the optical drives (infact my new case has a matching purpose made optical drive stealth bezel to save me some work!) but I can't find much/any info about stealthing other non-drive bays, like card readers and fan controllers (flat no buttons n knobs) anyone know of any guides on how to do such a mod? is it even possible?

 

Essentially I'm looking for some way to make bay doors as it were.

Difficult. Nearly impossible to do without experience in metalwork.

 

What case have you got? If it comes with a 'stealth' bezel for optical drives, there must be a way to mount that bezel to the case? Without knowing what that bezel looks like, I can't tell if it could be adapted for other drive bays, but I don't see why not.

Usually it depends on the case, as mentioned above. Unless you have a high end lian-li, thermaltake, or corsair case (plus several other high end manufacturers) which sells such faceplates directly from their website; you'll need access to a machine shop and serious technical skills.

 

It's really not worth it unless you can buy the faceplates premade or enjoy working with CNC mills, dremels, and shopping around for the perfect paint.
