Project ~Sinus~ Update 27.02.2007 Front Bay done!

Ok here i am with my first modding project. First a little intruduction on my self. My name is sebastian, i am 24 and a first year student of elektronics in the beautiful city of helsinki. For those who dont know thats in finland and so please forgive any fail spelling. If you find failures, can you keep them.

On to the modding part. My plan is turning this old Oscilloscope

into a lan rig.

The specs gonne be:
Chip A64 X2
MoBo ???
GFX Something on the line of x1800
Slim line Dvd/cd-rw
200 gig hdd

Now some teasers. sorry for the bad pics but my cam is cheap #¤%&





The all over theme is to keep it as close as possible on the original. So no fancy lighting ( i am sorry ), but i got some gimmicks up my sleave for the front . If you got ideas or suggestions feel free to post them.

Thats all for today more updates later on.

antiHero

 

Cool idea!

So you are finnish, aye?

 

Yeah but swedish speaken and my finnish is more than bad. moved only back here for army & studies.

 

Ok.
Btw, where did yo uget that oscilloscope?
(studys=studies)

 

Damn, original idea as far as I see it ..

Would be cool to add a lcd to the front bezel where the oscilloscope used to be

 

just what i would say

 

thats what i want to do. but its gonne be a bit special.

 

Interesting .. cant wait to hear (and see) some more of the features that are gonna be on this mod.

You also want to keep the front intact I suppose. So maybe you where thinking about mounting the cd or whatever player in the side?

Im very curious

 

put a lcd where the monitor used to be on the machine. This way you could have a hardware monitoring lcd. I recomend a ps1 lcd easily hooked up to the tv out and a samurise skin in the second lcd. Thats how I run myne.

Im looking forward to seeing this thing.

 

ya put a psone lcd in there

but wheres the drives gonna go?

 

i planed on putting a psone lcd there, only have to wait until i get mine from iamgoodyy. the dvd/cd-rw is gonne sit in the lower middle under the lcd.

 

That thing is sweet. What was its actual use before you got it? I dont knwow what there for

 

Oscilloscopes are used in making the movements of electrons viewable.
In easy: Lets yo usee the pulse movement of electricity.
Or that's what I think.

 

thats one of the thing they can. they can also be used as a multimeter

 

the lcd is a good start, but you should drop a vfd in there to give it a more "authentic" look...

 

like a psone screen or something would be sweet .. dont like those vfd actually ..

 

a liitle update for you guys. i just came home from K-Rauta which is the finnish version of home depot or any other tool/parts shop and spend 40 bucks on sheet metall, pipes and other stuff for the build. so stay tuned for new pics.

 

ok here the first real update. started the work today after i got some stuff as you can see. thats sheet aluminium and 8mm alu pipe. the second rod is a screw rod, dont know really whats the name in english but its just like a screw only long.


the motherboard tray and the other parts gonne be in differnt levels as a sandwich. got the first part done today.the screw rod go`s inside the pipe for better look.




ok thats it for today.
any commets or suggestens are welcome.

 

no one interested?
