My latest project: Is a HTPC with a Via-Epia motherboard as ground.

Article in Swedish

         

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.

Asked for? Picture in the dark. Bad camera sorry.
