Can't wait, fire this thing up.
It's looking good.
Basic Assembly Complete!
I have a few more things to finish up on but the parts are in and it starts up!
I have to try and clean up the wires a little bit more and it'll look really good.
I got a screaming deal for a sound card on ebay. Its nothing special, Diamond Xtreme 7.1 DTS for $35. I'm going to stick that in here and leave the Razer HP-1 card in my gaming machine. I also have to get some black paint and trim the edges of the case. Then i just have to glue on the window and its all complete!
Looks cool. Almost there now buddy.
Hey Hey! Im using the new computer right now! I found a few anoying problems that i'll have to overcome. First problem and the biggest is that the cordless desktop doesnt work in vista. I've tried everything i can think of and it doesnt do anything. I even downloaded the vista drivers and im so disapointed at logitech. I pluged it into my gaming computer and it worked straight away.
Secondly, the cd drive i have has a weak motor and struggles to open the sliding drive door. I'm going to try lubing it up and possibly getting a new drive.
Switched back to XP and all seems to be going well. Mouse and Keyboard are working. All essencials installed.
I'm having a hard time getting the FTA satellite card working. I've got more that 75% signal on Echostar 9 but 0% quality with a black screen and no Channels list.
Anyone have experience setting up sat dishes? Legal/Illegal, home/commercial, any information helps (if illegal, use general terms and info so we dont get banned(im not looking to steal sattelite, just to set up FTA)). I've never had a satellite before and the hauppauge options are very advanced and confusing.
Also, any recomendations on glue, epoxy, or cauking to attach my window? Curtis sugjested double sided tape but i think its a little too thick and would leave a gap.
What about clear silicon for the window? It's rubber so it will absorb vibrations better so you don't get the sound of the plexi shaking as bad.
agreed on that, thats what im gunna use
I cant do anything untill friday when i get paid. Untill then, here are some teaser shots.
I got the Satellite working allthough i'll need a better stand. I plan to put it on my roof so i dont have to have it setup like this. :) I stuck the dish on my patio umbrella stand then put that on a chair. :P
I havent got all the channels working, some send back an "Error: No Audio Track" message but most work.
Looks awsome!
And with the lights off!
More to come!
Very nice J-Roc.
Good job!
