I have successfully installed a slim dvd-rom into a xenarx 700IDT, with its ide adapter and an ide to usb 2.0 converter.

This is the post where you can see the "howto" (in spanish):

I am going to install this screen in a VW GOLF V 1.9 tdi sportline.

Well, I'm sold on the 700IDT, then.
Hell, I dnt even have to squeeze the USB-IDE adapter in there, since mine will be run off IDE, since it's close enough.

Visenri,

How did you attach the DVD drive to the Xenarc case? I can't see how the holes on the CD/DVD slimline drive match up with the holes in the bottom of the Xenarc case?

I would really like to install my drive if you can give some tips on this.

Thanks...

It is not attached to the case.

This little quantity of glue holds the dvd-reader in place.

When you remove the plastic in the front to make the hole for the reader, you'll see there is a place to put the reader (i am sure xenarc is going to put a reader in the next version) and keep it in place, be sure to make the hole a little smaller than the reader, so it keeps in place blocked by the front plastic and the glue in the ide connector.You need no screws
