SteamBox Sponsored by: www.ugnis.com Hello, I welcome you to the Aperture Science Computer-Aided Enrichment Center. You might have heard rumors floating around that Valve is making a consle. I decided not to wait and make one myself . It will be possible to change components of this console just by sliding motherboard tray in and out. This mini-ITX Companion Cube will be able to accommodate HD7850 or 560 Ti (more than enough to play every game on max settings in HD) and it will have the same volume as the Alienware X51. Parts: • INTEL I5-3570K • PALIT GTX560 TI • ASRock Z77E-ITX • Corsair Vengeance Black 8GB (2x4GB) • SSD Corsair Force 3 60GB • WD Caviar Black 1TB • Silverstone 450w sfx Some Sketchup models of it:
don't want to bust your bubble...but http://www.bit-tech.net/modding/2008/01/21/the_weighted_companion_pc/1 can't have too many though.
There are actually 3 companion cube cases on the internet. Thats just a fun build that I have always wanted to do Thanks for your post!
Update Got some new parts: Audio/USB 3.0/Firewire station from Compucase: Power and HDD LED, Power button: Fan filters from Nexus: Also I have prepared to cut the motherboard tray from a sacrificial case: Hope to update regularly on this project. Cheers
