HTPC Project... Use for an old amp(FINISHED)

No, but he revised his plan, so why back up an argument with outdated info?

 

Okay kids, lets play nice and keep this ontopic, just let the guy build his computer in peace, dont upset the computer karma

 

Thanks for that, id never have known.. Gonna make up a couple of rubber feet that should do the job.. Also "borrowed" the GFs 9600se, the vga connection is on a ribbon cable so gonna see if i can mount it somewhere without having to cut the case... "borrowed" a gig of ram off her too....

 

Just as an FYI, hot glue won't hold metal to metal for long. As soon as the metal turns cold, it will lose it's grip.

You might want to try some JB Weld.

 

Hey, when ya gonna get back at this, eh?!
I have some lo-tech ideas for your analog meters:
1-hook one right up to your HD activity light through a trim pot. Maybe calibrate it with your power on led so that full on is at the max reading of the meter so it won't peg out.
2-hook the other one up to a thermistor for a temprature indicator, OR:
if you're using a network card that has an activity led, hook it up to that with a trim pot.
Wha-lah! Movin' meters!

 

Cheers for the suggestions... Been in hospital for over a week n in and out for the next 2 weeks so gonna be a while before i get to work on any of my projects.... Once i get the energy back i'll be getting stuck into this to get it finished....

 

See - I told ya those dremels were dangerous.

 

You can use the mobo board and the backplate from the dragon case

 

Mind if I ask about the hospital?

 

Stole the words right out of my mouth.

 

Ask away... Had a few problems with my ticker... as in it wasnt working.. on the mend now, a month+ off work, plenty of time to mod if i wasn't so wrecked all the time

Picked up a tiny dell.. plan is to strip it n put everything straight into the case.. It should all fit in easy enough.. And its completely silent..

spec:
Dell Optiplex GX150 - Small Form Factor
P3 - 1ghz
256megs ram
185gig hdd
Floppy Drive
Cd-Rom Drive
2 X serial port, 4 X usb ports
1 X parallel port
1 X vga port
100meg lan connection

Getting better now, as soon as it arrives im gonna get stuck into getting it finished...

 

Dang, better take it easy for a while, huh?
BTW, I'm totally copying you and have already started on one of these, in an old Scott 530T Reciever.

 

U aint copying me.. i just inspired u ;-)

 

I have an old stereo at home that sorta works (tape deck and CD player dont work but the RCA audio plugs on the back do so its plugged into my computer) May mod that when it completely goes

 

nice mod. very original. keep it up

 

Small update.. working on the lighting n got it sorted.. was one led short so i figured id just use some cc's.. I've a load spare..

Works a charm.. pic quality aint the best, too lazy to dig out my tripod

 

Sweet! Looks great

 

That looks realy retro, realy nice.

 

Yep, looking good.

 

That looks great! I love the retro theme. Lucky for me my Dad is chucking his P4 2,6GHz out next christmas, he's getting a new PC. Guess what the OLD PC is going to become. I'll definately keep this mod in mind when I start my HTPC mod out, absolutely fab. Thanks for sharing!
