That looks sweet!

Can't really think of a solution for that...I really want to keep the sub in the main box otherwise I'm going to ruin the look of the thing. Do you have any suggestions to get around the fan thing?...

You could actually mod both of them to be media clients, setup a wifi network in your house and use both of them attached to TV's to stream mp3's divx etc around your house, would make a pretty sweet...

Yeah you are right enough about the blow holes, was planning on cutting them in the top of the speaker boxes, think about a 3" diameter on each should do it, I don't think the main case will need one...

To be honest, i'm not that concerned about the pc bit getting ruined, I've got an old one lying around that will be used, so if it gets wrecked, then it gets wrecked. I'm more concerned about the...

Hi guys, its not going to be used in a car...it will be on the beach and at garden parties, i.e. it will either have mains power or it will be running off a petrol generator. It was never intended...

Hey Bucko,

Think you are probably right, however, I would rather add a couple of extra fans and keep the size the same, I appreciate what you are saying about lugging it around, however I've...

You are right about the less space thing, but the two amps are going to generate a lot of heat, hence I think the bigger space will allow it to disapate better.

sorry no idea about the car on the screen, it was part of a model for an lcd that was in the sketchup 3d warehouse. But the res was quite low there.

Ok guys think that we are getting there now...

The speaker wires will go from the front right on the left speaker and front left on the right speaker, there will be holes drilled in the front with...

Okay took FoxTrot9000's advice and threw this up on the other forum, they came up with some good suggestions, a couple of them have been implemented here:

Just wondering if you could hook up some kind of battery and make it really portable...

Best of luck to you on this but I gotta be honest, it sounds like you are taking something that is actually quite complicated and trying to do it in a very simple way...how is the os going to handle...

Just wondering, does anyone know what kind of wattage these things use? If it isn't too high you could very easily make this into a sortof laptop, that would be really cool..use something like this...

P.S. in all seriousness, friend is the workshop manager for a company that builds custom electric cars here (like golf buggies), if they don't have the tool it probably doesn't exist...hmm...serious...

Actually guys the trackball is off an xarcade 3d model...so you're sorta right...

Regarding the whole tough thing...hell yeah, this thing is going to wish it was never...

On a completely different note...

Loving the stuff in your gallery...Especially you hard drive case mod (don't know why it appeals to to me but it just does...)

Hi guys, still looking for input on this, unless you have all run out of ideas (and yes that was a gauntlet)

Just a thought but why not throw a wifi card in the old computer, put ubuntu on it, mod it to look like a set top box and use it as a media client for the new comp? Sure you will have mp3's + divx...

Here's a few, although I'm not overly conviced with the concept...

Cheap mod - Build a photo of the two of you inside the case with led backlighting.

Cheasy mod...build a small mp3 player...

Xmastree, hi, actually have the mb I'm going to use already, its a micro atx board, onboard video + sound (5.1, not that that will make any difference in this project)

Regarding the whole...

Cheers Bucko, I get what you mean now, yeah that would work, but want the wow factor, plus I can use this for divx/dvd's etc...

(Future mod (money no object) could be a box that docks on the top...

Think you are right about the fan grills, would probably try and spray them red though to stay in keeping with the look. (Might actually try to put a couple of red cathodes inside as well, could...

Ok, as promised, here are the updated model photos, bear in mind these are in an ideal world, money may affect some of these...
