    Anemone, based on a motherboard from a Shuttle SV-24.

    This is a conversion of a 1946 Bush DAC 90 bakelite radio into a home entertainment PC. The big brass buttons on the front are power and reset switches, between them in the round window are 200 red LEDs which belongs to two 10-channel spectrum analyzers connected to the left and right channel on the sound card. Above the spectrum analyzers which are embedded in clear cast resin is a modified CrystalFontz 634 LCD (converted from green to red and inverted). A slim line cd-rom player is located under the round brass plate.


    Specs:

    Intel Celeron-II 800MHz
    Shuttle FV-24
    2 x 128MB PC-100
    10GB HDD
    24X IBM Slim line laptop CD-ROM
    140W mATX PSU

    I love this case. I'd love to see it in person some time too. The only thing I've change is the back panel. I think it should be masonite with holes punched in it like an old tv :D

    That was how the original rear panel was made. Since I never got one and that the back is holding the weight of all components acrylic was the only suitable choice at the time...
