    Isn't the qv7000sx 1.2MP?

    Hope you didn't get ripped of on that deal, Zap.

    Yes Bradford it is,
    I love this camera, but I didn't get ripped, I have had it for 5 years.

    I am currently trying some experiments with my arcylic, and getting good results.
    I already have figured out how to make the lighted buttons, and made one prototype.
    It looks like crap right now, so sorry, no pics.

    I will be putting a window similar to Linears' on the System harddrive, and I am doing some interesting stuff with vinyl dye.

    More later...

    Ok the super-bowl gave me some time work on my Media PC.
    (I only watch for the ads anyways)

    I have decided to use a removable motherboard tray, to hold all the componets, and have marked the plexi, and back plate up.
    I will cut it when it warms up a bit here.

    I hacked the wireless headphones, transmitter board, and will have pics of that up tonight.

    I will also start making the PCB's soon; for the various LED functions I have to do. (CDRW, DVD, HD activity)
    And the PCB's for the front switches.

    I have some VERY sweet idea's for the IPAQ screen, I may motorize it with a servo. (Time/complexity/money pending)

    The inner plexi structure is priority right now, once that is made I can work on the outer casing...

    (Pictures later tonight)

    Here it is! The flood of new stuff!!!!
    Too many images to post in one thread, so visit the pages.
    (No pop-ups, ads or such, just clean modding)

    Acrylic Case Parts
    Just the insides parts for now...
    I will get the acrylic cut once it warms up a bit.
    Then when all the inside parts are finished I will work on the outer-plexi glass.

    Zap, great project, hope you get the Ipaq display working.
    What software did you use to design the case? Was it autocad or 3d studio or something?

    ZapWizard uses truespace 3 and 4. I think he used 3 for this particular project.

    Doh, I didn't even see the question....
    Dex is right I used trueSpace3 to model and render it.

    You can get it free now.

    trueSpace3 for Free!!!

    I don't have too much left before everything comes together.
    Updates soon!
