ZapWizard's Media PC -Project on hold

I think you failed to understand something: modding is a hobby. It's not his career, he isn't making money from it. He does projects (most notably this one) as a side thing, just like any hobby. Stop pressuring him, he has things to deal with before he can think of modding.

 

Sorry, but you are wrong. Zap has been contracted to mod a shuttle for AMD and ATI for use at shows. It helps to keep up with all fo Zap's life

I know. That's one project that he is doing because he is so acclaimed for his work. But the rest of his projects are a hobby. Nobody makes him do it.. he does it for fun.

 

i thought everyone knew about the amd/ati shuttle mod.....well, i guess not....i mean, i think everyone on Bit-Tech has posted hate posts toward zap, but i think that that thing will look great!!!!

 

Indeed, but the ATI project is my first commercial project.
I will probably only take on projects that a requested of me, as I don't want to get bogged down with it as another job.
(The ATI PC is already taking hours a night anyways)

But up until now all my projects have been with my own money.
My next personal project, the laser pc, has many sponsored parts, but still has tons of my own money invested into it.

I may try to hit up ATI to see if I can upgrade the media PC to something more, but it's far from my mind right now.

 

hit 'em up for a couple Radeon 9800XT's or the top of the line All In Wonder. I'll take one!

 

what are the dimensions on this case

 

I replied to your e-mail.
But the case is not built anyways, but the plans are about the size of a ATX mid-tower on it's sidfe

 

wow... an LCD in front of the HTPC... over kill!!!!!!????

anyways since u plan on putting a color LCD, i thought u might like a link to someone who had already done this

http://www.atechfabrication.com/products/touchscreen_display.htm

it's pretty crazy... maybe u can contact him to cut out some parts for ya

 

Ehm... Zap already chopped up an Ipaq, and is using it to control the MediaPC. And he won a Lasercutter for his AmmoCase LanPC. Besides, I think he knows what he is doing. If it runs on electricity, Zap can chop it up and turn it into something awesome.

 

what i was going to say already been said


i just wanny say there is no limit to what zap could do



idea after seeing the picture it would look a whole lot nicer if you used aluminum or stainless steal instead of plexy like your original idea


just a sugestion any way keep up the good work zap


finish the ati/amd pc so you can finish this

 

I wish this project would be continued..

why is it that this thread of choc full of posts that have NOTHING to do with the project and/or ask the same questions repeatedly? At least two thirds of the pages in this thread are full of crap.

There should be a forum which is heavily pruned which allows the modder himself to post and that is it.

 

Thanks for the link to the LCD.
Those touchscreen models are expensive, but I plan on using one in a car PC later.

This project isn't dead yet, but it's on hold until I get back to it.

 

in title: small update- july 7th?? do americans have a different calendar these days, cause i was under the impression its still april...

 

Just goes to show it's been on hold for a year.
(This thread can be locked if a mod wants to)

 

If everyone refuses to reply to stupid questions with anything other than or then the number of stupid questions would be drastically reduced and people might *gasp* read the thread!
