Vibe - Custom Atom Case

[thechoozen]

Hi @all


inside our Cosmos Dragon Project (http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=157986) we build a custom enclosure for the Medusa 5.1 Headset Controll Box. We really liked how it turned out, so we thought why not build a mini itx system in that style?

So we came to the point that we will build a custom Mini Itx Case on Base of an Intel Atom Plattform (2x1,6Ghz), a slot in dvd burner and a small 2,5" HDD.

We already started the project yesterday...so here is what we got so far...
