welcome to my worklog for HTPC ::: sleeper (the only reason for 3 ":" is because it looks good on the VFD). read on!
full worklog with large pictures http://codeflux.com/mods/sleeper/
Before: Philips CDi-220 Interactive Player - basically a Karaoke box
After: HTPC, but still looks mostly stock
Hardware:
Motherboard Asus A7N266-VM nForce
CPU AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 2GHz
HSF Thermaltake w/Speeze low-speed fan
RAM 2x Crucial PC2100 256MB
Hard Drive 40GB Maxtor ATA133 IDE (small, but enough)
DVD-ROM Lite-On 16x DVD-ROM 48x CD-ROM
Video ATI Radeon 9200SE 128MB low-profile
TV ATI E-HOME Wonder low-profile & SageTV
PSU Allied 200W ATX low-profile
Display Matrix Orbital 20x2 VK202-25 w/LCDC
Remote Creative PC-DVD w/uICE
The bulk of the project was done in 2003. Some of the photos are out of order because I was coming back and redoing things here and there. As any work of art, this project is not finished - just abandoned. I am still going back in and changing a thing or two here and there.
