View Full Version : Looking for (very) old HTPC build.

The build I'm looking for is probably from around 2000 and may be from before TBCS. I remember looking at it for inspiration when I built my first mod case. I simply can not find the pictures I saved somewhere and I can't find the build blog.
It is so old that the builder used another acronym for it instead of HTPC. I remember the name started with M. MUWE or something like that, although Google can not find the build using that word. And I think the builder was from Scandinavia. The case was scratch built, not regular case that had been modded. It was black, used plexi and had green light. The internals were mostly reused parts, not new.
Anyway, if someone can help it would be great. If not, thanks anyway.

The only things that come to mind don't exactly fit your description aside from old, though they are not as old as you specified.

No, it's none of those. It was more like Vesperdeco or CinemediaPC meets Macro Black. But thanks for trying, it has probably been taken off the web by now and the only chance I have of seeing the pictures of this build is to stumble upon them on a russian website. :rolleyes:
