Project: Sammy (PC in a DVD player)

ah nice mate good work..

 

Lookin Schweet dude!

 

wow that is very nice

 

Looks good, still not going with a DVD drive ?

and only thing to pick not that you would see it once in cabinet is to move the join on the rubber edging to the middle of a straight section, then look just like a profsional finish

 

It'll be the only (working?) DVD player that doesn't actually play DVD's.

 

dvd drive plans are on hold as i only want to put a slim line slot drive in and i have no money to spend spent $20 on the whole mod as had all the parts lying around.

yeah i realised the mistake i made with the rubber edging.. after i super glued it on

 

Great mod, very clean.

Had any luck with the game pad? I would be very interested in how you set that up. I have a HTPC now, but just a small pc case... nothing works without the remote and or plugging in a KB and mouse.

(the kids manage to lose the remote almost every day too)

 

you can use this great piece of software to map buttons on a controller to keyboard commands

How did you get the brass standoffs to attach to the MDF? I would have thought the pitch of the standoffs' threads would be too fine to grip the MDF?

 

no probs at all. just drilled a smaller hole and then screwed the stand off in. very stable and solid

 

what type of cpu are u using, could not find the specs of the system in any of the posts - or maybe im just going blind? :S

 

aah sorry, its an athlon xp 2100+
