Step 9 to 10 : Solder the 2 wires to the front most tip above the DVD tray switch. Do not let the wires or solder touch any other parts or circuits.

Step 15 to 16 : Solder the 2 wires that runs to the back to a push switch. I just made the length short for this tutorial. If you want, you can attach it to a female molex, then decide where you want the switch to be or you want to hide the switch, cut the required length and join them together. This will come in handy, if you need to remove the DVD-Rom later. If you prefer, you can even use a LED push switch.

OK, i've used an IDE DVD-Rom drive, but you can even use a SATA DVD-Rom. I hope you find this tutorial useful, do try and let me know the outcome. Good Luck!!!.

I'll be doing this mod for the HAF 932 project i am working on, need to remove the meshed drive bay covers and attach it to the DVD Rom tray. A double sided foam tape might just do the trick. I'll let you know once it's done.
