Case Mod - In Progress HFPC Mod

The name : "HFPC Mod" for High Fidelity Paradyse Computer.

The concept : A home-theater computer (HTPC) inspired by high-fidelity world and components.

The story : Since few years I was thinking of a high-end HTPC with a Hi-Fi inspired look, to be the masterpiece of a high quality audio-video configuration.
But at this time I was already building the Paradyse TJ07 Mod so I had no time to build two mods at the same time. I built a "classic" temporary HTPC to still enjoy my installation.

Paradyse TJ07 Mod is now "ended" and I can put my work on this new project : the HFPC Mod.

MDPC-X stuff :









And the sound-card, Prodigy 7.1 HiFi from ESI-Audio :

 

getting rid of the gold on that card? I don't like it, unless it'll be eccentuated throughout the build?

 

The second choice Matt

 

Modding an S16V????

Got a standard S14V as my HTPC, so this I gotta see. Subbed.

 

This could be very interesting indeed I will stay tuned.

 

DIY main power cable :

 

that cable looks orgasmic.


edit: subbed.

 

Hey mate, Just went through the TJ07 log, very nice work there. Would be very interested how this project progesses. Keep modding

 

@ Mattmc91 : "orgasmic" !! Lol
@shah : Thank you dude

A shot of the case OrigenAE S16V :



The PSU Seasonic X-Series 750 :

 

If you last build is anything to go by this is going to be absolutely stunning.

That case looks unbelievable and awesome choice on the PSU , I just bought one myself actually, completely inaudible so a great choice for any HTPC.

 

I bet he loves the fact there's a gold sticker on it.

 

looking awesome man keep up the good work

 

Wow! Great start!

Sub'd

 

@ Xonar : this case is the best looking case imho and the same for the PSU
@Mattmc91 : well it was not why I chose it, and may be it will be put off.
@matt_lumley & its : thank you

The SSD : Intel X25-M 80Gb

 

The progress is slow but I like what I see.

 

Yes you're right shah. But I'm still waiting for the motherboard to begin the "real work". I need it for the internal cable lenght and sleeving, management, etc... I don't want to begin before, in order to make it fit perfectly (or try for it )

 

Yes sometimes it is worth the wait and I am sure it is going to be one of those moments

 

The low-voltage RAM : g.Skill F3-10666CL7Q-8GBECO
