Wood Media Player

I was thinking about doing a project log of this piece but was too lazy to snap pics during contruction. its used to watch movies and listen to music on my home theater system.
Guts are: Duron 700, 96 MB PC-100@133, 10gig HD, Geforce gts w/ tv out, SB live value (for the digital out to Technics SH-AC500D Digital Surround Processor), and lastly an old slot loaded CD-ROM.

CD slot at the very top under the molding, two little dots under slot are eject button (hand carved out of wood) and HD LED


PSU, intake fan@5V, hole for running cables through.


ORB cooling Duron,wooden pci card holder, and the front has a chamber for the air to expel to the HD down on the bottom to exit through the PSU



GTS, SB live value, NIC, little bump on the outside is another hand made wooden power button and power LED


lastly, the side, stained brownish


Good? I christened it "PLAYER" , because its PLAYs stuff

nice, great job

but i'd be afraid of fire.

: ) :

Do you have any pics of it fully assembled? Like maybe a shot of it all setup and standing? I'm just curious as to how it looks all setup, and not just from those two looks at its parts

Looks nice.

Just hooked it up and watched a movie

Pure genius my friend. Good job, it can blend in with other cabinets and furniture so you don't look like a huge nerd. (booting up your rig to watch a movie doesn't really impress the ladies)

I name my PCs for what they do, my server has 2 P3 1 GHZ named "Twin1000", this one is called PLAYER cuz it plays stuff. And by the way, it DOES NOT match anything other than the VHS shelf next to it, Everything I own is BLACK )TV, chairs, entertainment cabinet, main rig ( named "the-one1"), all black.
Took me a couple weeks to plan it out. Had a hard time deciding what to make it out of, and finally decided on wood and make it look less llike a PC so the GF wont mind it being in the living room. (and she was inpressed

Do some assembly sanding to get a smooth curve, and then use some wood polish.
Sweet looking, just don't let it overheat.

runs pretty cool with the rear blow hole.

That looks really nice you got some carpentry skillz

I'm just wondering:
have you attached your MB directly onto the backpanel (wood)?
Or have you place your MB-rack from a normal pc between it?

I'm making a wooden case as we speak, see my topic started.
