Record Crate Mod info.

New post with a pic of the inside....

This is what it looks like on the inside-

and the outside-

I wanted to build a new PC for Final Scratch and when I saw a record crate sitting in the corner I had an epiphany… Stick a PC in a crate!

This is my first homebuilt PC and I went all out- I didn’t want any bottlenecks… Each component is currently the sheeznit…..

Abit IC7-MAX3 motherboard
1 Gig OCZ DDR PC-4000 Dual Channel Gold memory
P2.8 800fsb w/hyperThreading
2 Maxtor 80g drives to be upgraded to S-ATA drives
TDK CD/DVD burner
ATI 9600 128 pro on the way
Antec 480w power supply
XP Pro
Pieced together and ordered from Newegg.com

All this is mounted on a removable motherboard tray from a $16 computer case and mounted in an Odyssey record crate. The case sits closed on its side and the CD/DVD burner is accessible by opening the cover. I was worried about cutting the crate to get it all to fit in… but I have an aircraft A&P mechanic that works for me who took care of that.

I thought that it would need an additional intake fan for cooling, but, luckily, the internal temps are within reason.

The next mod is getting the Final Scratch hub mounted on the inside.

Everybody has different opinions about hard drives, some people have tons of WD, Maxtor, Ibm (definitely) and seagate die. There is no one "top/best" harddrive manufacturer.

Um... WTF are you talking about? He posted it in one forum, General, where it belongs. Not all FS users are also TAs so I think it makes sense to post it both here and there. Altough he really should have just edited or at least posted to his original one on here instead of making a new topic.
