There's nothing like polishing a shield then using it to peek round the door frame and see your other halfs naked ass /what the hell am I talking about
You can't polish the ruddy thing - it rusts too quickly!

don't i know it. A500 shielding ain't too bad but the CD32 top shield is an absolute sod for rusting Probably as it runs a lot warmer than a 500

I threw a wobbly with my shield last night trying to get my Blizz 030 back in after my FPU upgrade. The card is a complete b*tch to get in there and the shield wasn't helping so it ended up in the bin (the shield not the Blizzard)

I need a neat way of mounting my CF and buffered interface now, anyone got any ideas?

Use the old cradle for the two, of course.

Well originally I wrapped mine is some spare bubbly-wrap with cable ties and a healthy dose of silicon....sounds lovely doesn't it

I do like neat though so I decided to cable-tie the sucker to the HD cradle (which I think rkauer was talking about doing)..it's going to be so pretty now

The only real down-side is that I can no longer upgrade to an IDE Express as it looks like the cradle would get in the way
