Default motorized 5.25 storage box stelthed

Well to start i won a theraltake Ibox
Thermaltake iBOX 5.25" Drive Bay Accessory Box - Black Products Model: A2315 [A2315] : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come
at a lan party the other day so i wanted to stealth it i have a Hiper anubis case with the lan-ll style drive covers so all i had to do was snap the side tabs off and super glue it on there easy eunff but today one of my cd drives died it still opens and the like but wont spin.

so i got the idea of makeing the i box moter opend and more stelthed to look like a cd drive!

i havent taken the cd drive apart yet so any idea if this will work nor not or am i jsut waisting my time?

Pics of the storage box would help so we would know [might know?] if there is any place to hang the additional hardware.

Also, how would you open/close it? It's all nice and stealthed it seems kludgy to now go back and add a button ....

A VERY small linear actuator ,or a worm drive setup...

Either way ,it'll be a challenge without the proper tools
