My latest project: Is a HTPC with a Via-Epia motherboard as ground.
I want to build my own case for it. And a lot of my idea come
from the GTRPC site. Who started with a 1/8 scale car this one is 1/10.
Sorry for the spelling but English is not my language.
My choice a car like this
 |
This is the shell for my new Lan/HTPC. The shell is only 40x20cm or 15,3/4x7,7/8inch and 13cm or 5,1/4inch high. |
 |
The shell from another angle. I cut out for the wheel and trimmed the body so I can mark out the chassis. |
 |
The chassis. I cut it out with a jigsaw. |
 |
The shell on the chassis. With a nice
fit. Now further to the wheel mounting.
|
 |
The chassis waiting for the wheel. Who has to be modified. It's the only way to give room for the DVD player. |
 |
Wheels the rim has to bee cut of for about 4mm on the front wheel. |
 |
Shell on the chassis with wheel. Now it start look like a car. I'm on my way. Worst thing I still await my motherboard. |
 |
Today I've done some holders to fix the shell |
 |
This is the rear holders |
 |
And this one in the front. This is only a temporary solution, until I got my slimline DVD. |
 |
Yippee the motherboard arrived today. |
 |
The slimline CD reader is borrowed from my laptop. |
 |
Overview But I'm not sure to the layout yet. |
 |
Thanks to Jenza for sponsor me with a PSU.Thanks |
 |
Here I've done some spacers for the motherboard and PSU. I plan to use a regular hard drive, as I put under the motherboard. |
 |
The PSU up in the air, because I need space for the cable to the monitor, TV, mouse, network and so on. |
 |
First test. Up and running start without problems. With an old XP installation on the disc. Surprise surprise I've counted with a new installation. |
 |
Finishing up the last before mounting of the headlight (there is only one at this moment) and painting. But in what color?? It's a hard choice. |
 |
Placed in it's right position and testing. |
 |
Finished! Nice little HTPC. |

That's all. |
