Project : Sirius ('Victor 9000')

[gaz_the_chav]

Right first off sorry for Project : Ipod Nano

Moving on!

My Grandma gave me a Sirius Victor 9000 computer today (and is crap lol)

http://www.old-computers.com/museum/...asp?st=1&c=210

I have already dismantlled it and I am ready to build a brand new computer inside it. I have also took the monitor out of its case and I am going to replace that aswell.

Here are some pictures of the case clear out:

As you can see there is a heap load of space and a nice bit of room to custom fit a PSU in the back!

Should be a laugh

I will soon post some design pictures once complete!

not that i have problems loking at the pics, but could you make them smaller.. like reduce resolution to 50% for beeter quality.. plus there is arule about pixel size.. mainly, the noise annoys me (reminds me i need a cam too tho)

mod-related, do i smell an LCD somewhere? uuu.. maybe some water cooling?

[chedabob]

that is some ghetto pc. make your images smaller though. i cant see the full pics, and my monitor is 1440 pixels wide.

EDIT:

LOL "high resolution, 800x400"

you should totally whack an lcd in, ditch the mobos and crap, and put twin dvd burners where the floppy drives go.E

EDIT2:

OMG 2000 QUID!!!! Jesus.

dude, that is close to the first mod i was planning.

i smell much lighting and some funky water cooling in your future!

hmmmmm any ideas on where i can fit i/o and pci's lol having problems lol!

[gaz_the_chav]

I have gutted the 5'25" floppy drives to fit the DVD writers into.

Hmmmmmm blue-ray sounds nice but at about £400 a drive I dont think so!!

Plus not many things read blue-ray discs do they?

More today hopefully (going back to my workshop about 7pm to gets some bits done plus some more designing!)

you oughta leave the old floppy drives in...and put some slot loading dvd drives in....that would be sick

[Airbozo]

The pictures bring back sooo many memories(good and bad). I had a NEW one of those on my desk at work, years ago. Got in trouble for tearing it apart to check it out.

Lol I would love to do the slot loading drives in the 5'25" drives and hae though about it. The design and fitting is easy but it is the price. I require 2 dvd rw (DL) which means (in the UK) about £81 each :o

[gaz_the_chav]

Heres my idea guys with the motors!

I am going to mount them either side and basiclly create a pulley system that will lift the top (hinged) part of the case up to reveal the glowing inside! I am going to cover the inside with plexi so no-one touches!

Questions / comments please!
