Project : ASUS AT3IONT-I HTPC

Lilttle tip for you: 2,5" hdd/ssd dont need 12V line to power.

So you can use only 5V line (two cables +5V and GND) from mobo molex.

In one project I used the same mobo but not hdd, just SSD and for power it up i used 5V from internal usb pins.

+ you should change this sata cable to blue and will be perfect
 
Thanks Smit I'd make you one but the cost would be silly for what it is . I've got some ideas though ;)


duniek .... thanks for the tip :) blue sata cable is on the list off bits to sort ;)


Scotteh ...

Mobo - £150.oo ( inc lap top brick and ir remote )

2 x Kingston 1GB DDR3 1066MHz - £15.oo

Western Digital 120GB 2.5" Hard Drive - £25.oo

Xilence Red Wing 80mm Quiet Fan - £3.oo

Switch , cables , fixings etc about £25.oo

Case materials - Free , off cuts from work :)

So about £220.oo
 
Thanks everyone :)

The internal part (clear) and the front and back panels (blue) are from acrylic the cover is made from a composite panel material . It's made from two layers of aluminium with a core of polythene . It comes in a few finishes.... this one is painted white .
