Vcr Pc

psyco18 · 24th October 2005, 9:46 PM

Since school holidays are coming up I though it might be fun to build a pc in a vcr. I got given an old vcr a while ago and it never go used so I though I would put it to use.

The Victim

The insides

The empty case

Perspex place

I still have the original Circuit board for the front and I am planning to wire up the buttons so I can control winamp ect without a keyboard or mouse. More updates coming soon and the cpu and main board should be here by the weekend.

Nice, that perspex plate will look pretty cool :P

Go to www.pccasegear.com.au and get a matrix orbital, Alot easier than wiring up the front Screen in a VCR, and im pretty sure that the screen in vcr's have the digit simbols built in....

from what i understand of screens i need to have a VFD so it will be visable through the black panel. This one maybe, Ill post some pics up of the front display and the window in a little while.
