    I needed a HTPC for new year's eve to show some home movies, watch web TV etc... so I came up with this quick solution and connected it to the TV.
    Some pics of the mod:

    It took about one hour to build and configure and worked great, I just thought I'd share this!!

    Ha! A REAL man would have just stapled everything to the wall! :D
    (and a renter would have done it with 4" nails and glue.):hehe:

    I like the way you're thinking!!! Must do that one day :naughty::naughty:

    You're right, I upgraded it to 1GB :D

    Wow, my first stars, thankyou :clap:
    Well, the balloon could be a reservoir for water cooling maybe....

    ....pictures all blurred...too fast for my camera also :D

    My thoughts indeed :D, also it runs so cool that I don't even need the fan on the CPU.

    Hmmm... now that idea could be converted to something that looks really nice. Replace the chipboards with alu structure and slap on a nice semi open shell.......wait a minute..... hehe, now I know where oldbynew got the idea for his "Cygnus X1" project!! ;P

    Btw, sorry for the thread revival. <=)
