Do a lot of reading on the subject for interest; electonics & PC are kinda like hobbies for me. Currently studying applied physics in USM, so have a bit of underlying knowledge to fill in gaps (mostly in electronics-my course has heavy emphasis in the physics of semiconductors & electronics).

So that means..i can consult with you bout stuff that i won't understand?

Well, my course doesn't focus on actual electronic device application, but sure, I'll try my best to help you with what I know. I'll say my knowledge in electronics is around the level of a amateur electronics hobbyist. Best people to ask would be those studying computer hardware or electronics engineering.

Still your opinion can be put into a count dude....

Thanks, I'm flattered.

tq all the power minded..bro... especially to zyntherius.. so when can we meet around shah alam area to see what U done it man.. n also i wanna asking to many question about da project.. tq..

Shouldn't be a problem dude..... why dun we meet at the lanparty this coming 25th march at ss15 (Autosurf) i'll give you a call

nice ideas......

how u put the usb port into console box?

quite worry for yr hdd.

Like i post earlier..laptop hdd are more durable to shock...and i am not worried bout it.... i cut the console to the size of the USB header... and use 5 meters usb cables

Besides, I bet the only things you store in there you can afford to lose/have other copies..HDD can replace but data no backup means bye bye.

true..true....

yoo bro nice mod you got there
been thinking of doing this quit some time ago
got some question here. How do you lock your modo power supply on ? is it on the acrylic board ? mind to show the picture or any diagram . cause you need to ground the modo right ? "acrylic is plastic. please advice

thanks !

cool,but how do u maintain the temp of ur com?because in malaysia the weather is damm hot,the temperature may cause damage to the motherboard.
anyway nice diy i love it.

omG... everything nicely done.. superb!
if i were to DIY stuffs like what u did...
my car sure go KABOOM... lol

great mod have always wanted to have one in my car but too lazy to do so and mp3 players are abundance nowdays but i'm still toying with the idea so I can have video in the car. How big is the screen you are using and what is the resolution set on the pc ?

Kudos for a job well done

the screen is 6.5" and the resolution is 800 x 600...the most suitable reso for the screen... but can go higher.

PCs when off actually can survive temperatures a human can't. Most fragile also is HDD, but come on, you're not going to use some damn expensive one and/or keep important stuff on it are you?

dun think negative dude.... if you do it properly won't go kaboom..:0

Added on March 13, 2007, 12:30 pmmost parts of the mainboard are made from ceramics one..they can withstand high temp... good air flow can lead to lower temps..... it's a know how thingy and off course ask around and do research.

Its not the ceramics you should be worried about, its the silicon that's on/inside them. Electronics can easily survive 80C even for long periods if not operating, but more than that you're taking risks. When operating its a different story-thats why companies like Thermaltake, Cooler Master, Thermalright are having so good business.

yoo bro nice mod you got there .. haven't reply me from the previous post ler ~ nvm hope you reply on this

and secondly you connect the Power Supply to the Inverter then to car batt right ?

Power Supply > Inverter > Batt but i can't see the normal black think wire cable that connects to normal power source .. care to explain how to convert the power supply till so need

thanks bro
