This project is taking the Modified LG 8164 drive from Divineo.com and installing the clear dvd bezel that comes with some case upgrade kits. This was a little difficult because the bezel was not made for PC converted drives like the 8164, only the stock XBOX ones.

Here is an overview of the project:

1) First i had to remove my "disc holder" thingy from the case in the 8164 drive. This is only necessary if you don't have one available (most people don't).


2) Next i had to cut some of the new bezel with an X-ACTO knife to make it fit correctly and level with the top part of the dvd drive.


3) I then counter-sinked the bezel into the dvd drive. This was done by using needle nose pliers, an X-ACTO knife, and wire cutters. This part was very delicate and needed to be very accurate.


4) Along with step three, the bezel has to be counter-sinked at approximately the thickness of the bezel itself. This is just simply guess and check. Fortunately i was able to do it in one shot. Too far up or down would make the bezel touch the blue piece in the middle.


5) Finishing touches. Make sure it fits correctly with the case closed, and thats about it. Here is the nearly finished project shown at work.


For more detailed instructions on how to do this, just give me a PM and i'll get back with you.

PS: i'm still working on a way to close the drive up in the box with its original bottom casing of the drive. But the hard part is already over.
