bit-tech modding guru Max Erlandsson has made yet another stonking scratch build with his latest home theatre PC project. With beautiful lines mixing industrious looks and subtle curves make this a mod you'll really want to see!

First!, looks nice, I'm not a fan of smaller PC's but I wouldn't mind having this one.

antiHero · 16th Apr 2009, 10:19

Very nice build. Attention to detail and good craftmansship. I like it a lot!

Blademrk · 16th Apr 2009, 10:21

Nice, I really like the design of that.

AlexB · 16th Apr 2009, 10:24

Looks quite fantastic - it really does - but does it have enough raw power to play back full HD content?

[USRF]Obiwan · 16th Apr 2009, 11:36

so when does mass production start?

Paradigm Shifter · 16th Apr 2009, 12:15

Looks awesome.

I need to sort out a new HTPC (smaller, as I've moved and don't have the same amount of room I did...

) and none of the cases I can buy really do what I want. I'd build my own, but don't have the time, and it certainly wouldn't come out that neat. Nice, nice work.

Looks amazing! I love the cleanness and elegance.

Looks almost battlestar gallactica!

SlickGnome · 16th Apr 2009, 14:09

Love the industrial look and the lighting is perfect. A+ on that build

stonedsurd · 16th Apr 2009, 14:40

Dang, that's hot.

OMG just think of what that would look like in wood!!1111111

Sleepstreamer, g-Gnome, Wolverine, Benny, Macroman (the pioneer)... These are the prime evils for casemodding!

I can't remeber anyone else that could use visible screws with so much charm as he does! Always with great ideas! Up to now, this is MY vote for MotY!

Grats friend! Nice work as always!

Cheapskate · 16th Apr 2009, 17:40

I never saw a build log, and that makes me sad.

This is really beautiful. I feel your pain on the part about the masking fusing to the plastic. I had a sheet like that. It was a nightmare.
Homemade buttons rule!

Awesome build! Although seeing all the corner ribbing you did brought back painful landing bay memories. Thanks for that! lol

Only thing about the write up is that I'd like to have seen more on the hardware mounting and internal layout. Otherwise, awesome project!

Actually tbh, I haven't tried full hd on it as of yet, but when I do I'll leave a comment in this thread

Wow that's some very high praise, I'm honored! I'm also very happy about you mentioning the screws, as I'm one of those people who believes that well placed screw heads actually adds to the look, rather than clutters it up.

You might be right about that, if you're interested I could post some pics of the internals in this thread. Heh, well my small corners can hardly compare to the agony of ribbing an entire case!

SinxarKnights · 17th Apr 2009, 12:14

Looks very nice! I think I would have went with some metal feet/stand and polished it up but thats just me. Great work!

E.E.L. Ambiense · 17th Apr 2009, 21:16

Gorgeous, as always!

WOW man, that is a really sweet mod, just amazing. I really like the design and feel of the mod.

That's the last sensation I had before I blacked out; that thick smell of asphalt. She said she'd fix my bike. Free. No strings attached. I shoulda've known then that things were never that simple. Yeah, when I think of Maureen, I think of two things: Asphalt, and trouble.
