Scratch Build – In Progress Arya-completed

Love it! MOAR, please.

 

Thank you Nutman.

There will be more-I promise.

 

I'm forgetting to look at the modders instead of their victims in the index.

Looks reall nice . maybe for lighting go for a real nice, deep purple? suits the case imho. The fan controller certainly helps to adjust. And btw, nice pcb isulation. You'd make cheaps proud

 

Thank you siliconfanatic.

Deep purple you say? Hmm,I will see if it fits with the color when I paint the case.

 

Today I bought MBO for this build-that means new update this weekend.

 

I do like micro Atx boards, one day I'll take the plunge and use one. Watching with interest

 

Actually, this is mITX, not mATX.

Thanks.

 

yeah that's what I meant oops

 

No problem.

But this MBO will not remain stock.

 

Nice one dude! I think the purple lighting looks the best in there

 

I hope not !!!

 

Thanks,mate. IRl white looks better than purple.

 

Arya-update 19.3. new features

Here is the new update. This time I wanted to show more progress in single update.


I drilled holes for MBO standoffs. This time I didn't used dremel-instead of that I drilled manually.












After putting MBO in case,I had to test it and try how Linux Mint and XBMC are working with this hardware. At the time I didn't have RAM and PSu for this project so I used RAm from my PC and PSU that was waiting for my next project.








My frined bought me a mesh so I checked out how would it look if I used that instead of plexi on side panel.




Then I started to mod MBO-I covered it with carbon foil and modded the CPU fan.










I bought mini PSu to test if I could fit it in side panel because it was cheaper then power brick and pico PSU. You can see that I decided to preserve warranty.
No seal broken. XD



Compared to the iPhone 3g.



Started with modifications.










Finished MBO.







Something completely new in the case itself- HDD mounting.

 

Nice

I dont know what the power requirements are for that board, but before you think a pico and brick are expensive, look at this one im using.

 

Thank you.

Well, I can buy two of these PSUs that I am using for price of that combo so it's still expensive.

I still need to rework some things on this PSU and see if it will be possible to put everything in that side panel-I only have 24 mm of space. If that will not work,I will buy brick and pico PSu and place them in that space.

 

I was wondering through the build were the PSU is going, its going to be tight no?
I love these sorts of small build! Great work dude!

 

Yes, its going to be tight fit. Case was designet to use power brick,but I went with this PSU because of price.

Thanks mate.

 

damn that's one sexy case

 

Thank you,mate.

Do you want Arya's phone number?

 

Really loves that more and more start making mini-itx builds. Good job Pranja!
