Why no casing available? Is it custom sized mb?

no small casing that fit m-atx.. shallow tv cabinet

props for creativity

Lol

Facing 2 issues need to solved right now:
1) Power button (planning to use door bell)
2) heat issue (planning to drill holes inside cupboard)

To be updated later

Done making the power button switch

Also drill 2 holes for ventilation

Will consider to add filter and child lock later

Finally got 2 meter x 3 meter carpet from taobao.. mission complete

Clean setup bro! What did you use for your power button? And did you just nail the photo frames together or did you use other stuff like wood glue too?

I use this switch button.. drill a small hole at the cupboard bottom (slightly wider than the switch body), use white plumper tape to wrap switch body, fix it into the hole



more explanation

y not set up two fan for both hole?

1 is enuf bro.. silent is the key

sorry bro.. just found out u asked another question regarding the frame.. it ordered it from photo frame shop, they use nail

that's cool, perhaps you may make build something else to fulfill your cupboard

Why no use Wake On Lan as switch?

nice bro.. kudos to creativity

button switch faster but wake on lan is really cool

thx

hv to search phone too.. ayam no play phone at home

LOL

nice mod.
but will look better with custom transparent acrylic casing to prevent dust and or accidental water spillage and short circuit to busybodys.

thanks, it is inside the cabinet.. with acrylic casing will still have dust.. wont have water spillage unless flooded.. nobody visited my house anyway haha

just a recommendation on the on off switch, Actually you may opt for a wireless power switch which it can be used to on and reset the computer. It just like a car remote which is handy and normally used by cyber cafe.

thanks for the suggestion

it was suggested before, like using phone/wake on lan to activate it.. well my house is very small (just around 400sqft at living), it is way faster to go and switch in on, and it is running on ssd on Win10, the boot up time is less than 15 sec.

sorry ayam is old fag who value practicality over technology

tq for ur answer

HTPC : Wiki

yo bro, did you install your own cabinet or you called someone to install it? mind sharing how you mount the cabinet? thanks

thanks

I DIY, just drill hole @ wall and fix it with screw.. different cabinet has different way of hanging it.. alternately you can always ask ur supplier to do it

Lolwtf. That's really creative... small suggestion, post this on reddit and wait for the karma to rain

Haha thanks.. keep in LYN cukup syukur

anyone tried wooden diy case? any hazzards using fire retardant spray paint?

park and learn

What about ventilation? Looks like little airflow inside

No issue with air flow.. one 12cm air intake round hole (without fan), another 1x 12cm air outflow with 12cm casing fan

1080 60p above youtube VP9 playback
With GTX1050 (GPU usage 20-30%, CPU usage 20-30%)
Without GTX1050 (CPU usage 80-90%) much hotter

very good idea, should have do the same also instead of having a huge mATX casing at the side of the TV.

NICE!!! Keep up the good work!

looks good! Very neat!

how was the unit after 1 week?
lots of dust?

Final upgrade of my HTPC, before selling off due to upgrade
