awsome work ant love it... cant wait for more pics of it totaly finished

 

just woundering where did ya get the screen and the LCD from?

 

yea really nice, did you use a mini atx board and what psu u using, yea i also want to know wat lcd it is as well

 

Hi The lcd came with the MSI Mega PC 651 as did the motherboard, and the PSU which is a 200w supply! Which when the pc is not on powers the cd rom and lcd and acts like a HIFI. The TFT is the LILLIPUT 7" TOUCHscreen VGA.

ahhh all came out of 1 computer... still a great mod..

how much did that conputer put u back?

 

the Barebones system only cost £220 so perfect for the job!

Ant

 

very very nice

btw ihmo 2 displays is too much on one side

 

You can't seriously mean that this is your first mod, it's so sweet. Maybe it's your first mod, but definately not your first interaction with self buildt pc's!

 

its not hard
anyways, awesome project! keep it up

 

Its my first attempt at building my own PC case rather then buying one. I have got a Lian-li case with a watercooled setup and the Aquarium



Here is a shot of the truck almost sorted got to do a few more bits yet to it!



Ant

 

he he he nice aquarium

btw where did u buy ur plexi?

 

Whats in the back of the truck?

Computer parts.

Oh cool you deliver computer parts!

No, no no. Its a computer


Whats in the very back of the truck (not where you placed the shuttle) The second hang on thingy...?

 

Hi I get the polycarb out of a skip!, Surprising what the local plastic company calls offcuts! The Trailer carrys the keyboard and all the other bits required to operate the pc. Which means I dont have to carry anything when I go to lan's!

Ant

 

Somebody is going to be rolling in style!
