Ok, the plan is, have a settop box, looks normal, but contains a router, DVD Drive, Computer, Server, And a nice lil remote. (pics coming soon) I will be running windows XP or a linux distro probobly. A 120gig HDD will be what is used. Ok, im going to work on the router first. Ok, i did some looking at the router, and it looks like, if i do this, all the LEDs will need to be rewired along with the auntenna and power. The power i will be feeding off of the 5v line of the powersupply. Now, i stripped the old broken DVD player we had laying around, and stripped it. Right away, as i started taking this apart, i realized, this is pretty damn neat, for a DVD player, its almost a computer inside. I realized a few parts i could use for the new build ASAP i got inside. I tore everything out after this, took a simple screwdriver. More to come.
Looking forward to this one. I intend to get myself set up with a HTPC sometime soon and also have it as my downloads box and fileserver. Think I'll subscribe to this one. don't keep us hanging for too long...
