I'd be willing to review one for you, I have all of the components except the screen already. I also have exsperiance with fabrication and design.

They do, but in this case, I think it looks better with a tray. And it's more confortable, because it gets out, and you have more space available to put in the CD...but hey, that's just me.

After publishing this tutorial, I will provide two samples (enclosure only) for evaluation. Volunteers should be capable of mounting all electronic components (not provided) and criticize the whole project.
All I want back is serious response in how to make it better, and a few road test reports.
I will sell it in a make to order basis, after that.

I'd love to take a stab at motorizing it. Let me know.

I'd like to help with motorizing it too, I got access to small motors, gears, uControllers and such. Plus I love to work designing stuff

Let me know

Just to give you the proper vocabulary, that is called a "slot load DVD"

Very impressive

I was planning on ordering my carputer parts this coming week, but I think I might hold off and see how this pans out. I have a double DIN area in my VW Golf Mk5, and want to stick with the flush screen design.

Sweet work.

With your case design...do you use the factory radio brackets to hold it in place, or are u just using gravity, or are you using custom made brackets?

I've been working with other mr2 owners on getting an enclosure finalized for just the screen so the bezel wouldn't have to be destroyed.

It's another great idea for the 2.......i've already built my pc so i'll be sticking with the enclosure i'm working with. That MB has to be tiny to fit behind the screen in the 2.
