Didn't offend, but it did make me shiver...ouch.
As for Project Zero, I'm very interested to see how this turns out.
So am I! I guess I better keep at it so I can actually post something.. we are finally up to 3 hrs of sleep a night, so things are looking up.
Also, I'm still collecting parts/ideas, and teaching myself some sketchup so I can get my idea successfully expressed.
{insert tire screech sound here}
OK, this project died a very sudden death, didnt it? Between screaming babies growing teeth, working 4 jobs, and the threat of bankruptcy, all side projects were halted.
I've been thinking about this one more and more lately, and a stroke of luck *MIGHT* have brought me an easier option.
I was donated an old Apple LC475 desktop computer. Unlike the iMac's and such, this is a seperate desktop chassis, thin and small enough to fit nicely on my televisions stand, but will be easily adapted to an acceptable appearance.
Initial calculations (aka wild-ass guess) show that the DV6000 mobo should fit nicely into this chassis. I should also be able to fit the power brick into the case, AND route the cables internally as well, and just drop them out a slot on the back.
Maybe a quick coat of paint on the mac, some sanding/dremel work to the front to get the optical drive in there.. who knows. :) Progress coming soon!
Sounds promising. The tops on those things come off really easily too, so if you need to rework the cabling for any reason, it would be easy to open it up and do so.
Updates coming.. I promise!
Interesting post dude....discussion are always helpful in one way or the other. Thanks for giving out information. It’s really nice and mean full.Quote:

LOL. I dunno...YOU tell us! :P
I hope it isn't I wanted to see how it turned out.
;)
Big update coming tomorrow..
:up:
it's past tomorrow....
It sure is!
I managed to land an HP elitebook to use for this project, but it turns out that it's dead. :( I'll return to my original unit, a DV6000. In the meantime, a second machine, a Fujitsu lifebook fell into my lap, so I'm looking into using it.. the CPU fan is failed, so I'm trying to rig up a replacement.. once I have something concrete assembled, I'll update.
I dont want to get all hopes up again until I have something worthy of posting.. :( I should have kept my mouth shut until I knew that other HP was working.. dammit.. Quadro card on it too. :(
It's about time!
In the last year, I've been through some tough (financial) times. At the same time, many of our forum members here have had serious health problems, lost family or friends etc, so my troubles were pretty minor by comparison. I hope that everyone is well, and that you are all blessed with good fortune!
I've decided to give this project another attempt! I'll be salvaging as much as I can from the previous iteration, and I'll still be sticking to the "Zero dollars" mantra!
At the moment, I've got the HP running Ubuntu on my desk, and I've been trying to get a good feel for capability and functionality as an AIO type machine. I'm almost ready to spend money on a touchscreen overlay, just to get that functionality, but at the same time.. zero dollars.. and I want to stick to that.
The new job is going to be a huge stress reliever for my family, as the hours at this one were just getting out of control; as I handed my resignation, I calculated that I have 5.5 weeks of banked time.. since May.
No new pictures as of yet, but I promise that I'll complete this project ASAP! Pictures and regular updates are back on the schedule!
I hate being unable to finish a project, particularly something that had such potential, and got so much positive feedback. Life gets in the way. *sigh*
Stick with me, I'll make it through!
Dont you? :DQuote:
