Looks really neat, I would've gone mad drilling all those holes...

Yep the holes were rather tedious .

Pretty pictures here

Excellent build log. Great job on the case. I'm waiting on delivery of my htpc components, gutted I have to wait until after the bank holiday weekend. Given me a lot of modding ideas.

Thanks for sharing !

This looks awesome, sweet build

andy_mk3 · 24 Apr 2011 at 01:26

That does look awesome

Looks great mate

I'd be well proud of that if I were you!!

Glad you managed to sort the cooling out

Thanks for the comments everyone

I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out and I've learnt a lot as I've gone along , still am with Ubuntu and XBMC .

I've been playing around with a remote that came with an old Dell . It sort of worked out of the box . Bit of messing around and I'd managed to stop it working at all

. Reinstalled XBMC and it's sort of working again

I've got some thoughts for future mods on it . When I get a new TV I can use the onboard HDMI out , this leaves me a bit of space . Thinking of a TV card or a HD video capture card . Trying to figure out if the HD capture card will let me record HD from my Virgin cable box ??

Ahh, nice to see its finally done. A rather unique machine

Just got my parcel from Hong Kong today, its great but I wish it was just a bit bigger so I could fit in half height GPU straight into the PCI slot, I might be pinching your idea next !

Can I ask you something, would you be able to prop this up sideways by placing some rubber pegs at the bottom, or would everything fall out?

Everything in the case is screwed in , bolted down so yes it would be fine on it's side . The only issue might be the pcie card hanging of the back panel but a bit more support should sort that if needed .
