50 shades of.....yellow
The bezels on the bay devices really stood out as yellowed when installed next to each other and in this new case. I started disassembling them, and this'll actually be my first real foray into retrobrighting. Disassembly was easier than I thought, the most difficult part was actually the light pipes on the Plextor drives; whereas the buttons on the face of the drive are just pressure fit on a plastic peg, the light pipes are fit onto a similar peg, but that peg is then melted down to ensure it never goes anywhere.
Fair enough, a little finesse with the xacto knife and out they come. I'm thinking a couple of blobs of hot glue for reassembly should do the trick.
As for the Live! Drive, I'm happy I pulled this thing apart as there's a chance to really get in and clean it.

I'm sourcing some 40 volume clear developer peroxide and will warm up the food sealer as well as the sous vide; I'm very thankful for both the 8 Bit Guy's as well as RetroManCave's videos on the topic.
