Cool!

BTW how did you mount or secure the mobo on the top layer. It is not quite clear on the pictures, but it looks like you put it on a piece of cardboard or something?

EDIT: Did you manage to find any external power supply adapter for atom so that we can make the whole box smaller?

what final year project is this? modding a PC into some biscuit tin?
i dont know how your lecturer think about your project. but for me, this shouldnt be call as final year project.
what you want to prove? to be creative?
if on top of your mini box pc have some robotic arm, or some electronic circuit, thats fine. but this? doh.gif
