For this project I am going to making a pc inside this old speaker case, im only just beginning but my ideas for it are looking good already, so heres a couple pics for you!!!! thanks for lookin! ill keep you updated
well i cut the backboard down to the size of the back, i will still have to fix up those two broken spots on the bottom but it should clean up fine with some wood glue and a clamp, heres the pics of the pegboard!
looks good dude, nice idea... i personally could see a nice flap opening dvd drive or similar in the space of the main large diameter speaker; perhaps lcds or control panels in the smaller speakers.. if you can see what i mean
yeah i understand what you mean, i was actually thinkin about just leaving the big one fora window and probly putting fans in the other holes, im going to either not have any cd drive or just going to have to make it come out the back or a side, thanks im open to any more ideas everyone, im working on the hdd mounting right now
when i did this mod i mounted everything to a piece of perspex by fitting motherboard mounting collars into it. drill a hole the same diameter as the core of the thread on them, and then screw them in slowly. Its quite discrete and a firm mount. i think the stuff i used was around 8-12mm thick. try getting hold of a slow load cd/dvd drive, that could be better to work with.
Interesting idea! I don't think I have seen anyone put a PC in a speaker before! maybe mount the CD-ROM centred on the large speaker hole, and mount the grill to it (of if it is a slot load cut a small slot in the grill). That way you had a CD-ROM without changing the outside frame. Alternatively, you could have it come out the side or back
This looks like a good idea. Don't forget about your cooling. You could use a fan there in one of the smaller, empty holes. Two intakes near the bottom and one exhaust at the top facing out and one facing back (so the air splits, some out the front, some out the back of the speaker) would be a good working design. After all, heat rises.
hahahah scott..... i wonder what a 12 inch fan would look like? lol, it would sound fantastic too right now im working on a bracket to hold up a cd drive inthere and have it come out the 12 inch window at the top, its almost done, then i will have to fix the cd drive to it somehow.. ill figure something out pics up soon
Inspiring! I've got a speaker a bit like that up in the loft... Intrested to see how this one turns out, looks good so far
Lookin awesome already. Like others have said before me, I can't wait to see what happens next. Mod on, man.
thanks guys, im kinda stuck here, i cant figure out a way to get the standoffs to stay in the bottom so i can put the mobo in place, any ideas?
FINALYYYYYYY i found somethin, this has been pissing me off too lol, and i was sittinhere at my computer and noticed this little thin plastic that was used for a football cover for some autographed ball, and check it! the threads that stick out the back will rest in holes that will be drilled behind them and i will screw this whole thing down to the bottom lookin good for the mobo now
Ah thought you was gonna build a PC into a Technics SL12xx turntable! Anything Technics is good, subscribed!
