New HTPC Case Mod - Part 1
September 6th, 2007 by erb
I’ve started a new case mod over the past couple weeks. Over Labor Day weekend, the first trial boot / check-out was mostly successful — the only hiccup was a bit of trouble with the IDE optical drive, but I just hooked up a USB / IDE PATA enclosure / CDROM hack job and kept on moving.
A dedicated page is available at SCSI HTPC Epia-M100000 Mod.
(While you’re at it, check out my other work-in-progress mod, AppleII Floppy Disk Epia-N Mod.)
The low down:
- An old full-height, single disk SCSI enclosure
- VIA EPIA M10000 motherboard, 1GHz VIA C3
- 2 picoPSU DC-DC power supplies, 12V input
- IcyDock MB453SPF-B
- 500GB SATA drives — TBD
- Promise TX4310 SATA II PCI 32bit 4 Port RAID Controller
- Linksys WMP54 Wirelss-G PCI adapter
- Slimline optical drive
- 4GB Flash IDE drive
- VFD display with IR remote
- Lots of dremeling
