My MATX P4 HTPC
Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2003 3:02 pm
At last I have taken some pics of my HTPC. Based in a Lian Li PC-9300, with a SFX PSU I tore out the 60mm exhaust fans, the 80mm PSU fan, and didn't bother with the Zalman flower's overhead fan. instead I put in a single 120mm fan to do it all. It's a Nothwood 2.0 overclocked to 2.4GHz happily (stock voltage).
A cereal (Mmmmm, Shreddies!) packet provided some cardboard to help the air move where I want it.
I know the cabling's a bit of a mess, but it's a small case then the cables are too long!
To aid in getting air into the case and cooling the hard drive I added a Panaflo at 5v under the drive. It can't be easily seen, but it's suspended with elastic, and this enhanced pic is as good as you get for now!
And finally, the front. The Blu-tack to the right of the power switch is to hold an IR reciever. Anyone knopw where I can get some dark plastic to hide it behind along with an LCD in the right hand bay? BTW, I'm in the UK...
