PC in a Toaster

bristr · Sep 27, 2012, 03:29 AM

This is what I've been working on. It's rather crude in design, but it works.

Intel Desktop Board D525MW Mini-ITX 1.8GHz
4GB DDR3
Pico-PSU 150W (and external power brick)
802.11B/G Wifi (recycled from an old laptop)
Toshiba 200GB 2.5" HDD
ASUS DVD burner
Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

I was originally going to install openSUSE but I was able to get a free Windows 7 license through MSAA, so I used that instead.

It doesn't make toast anymore, but it does burn DVDs.

Talkie Toaster, anyone?

Apple needs to get a hold of you for a Mac Mini commercial.

Guy running PhotoShop on his mac mini... guy with a slice of bread looking for the slot with his PowerToastPC.

I love these kind of mods. When I was a kid I put an old P2 in my desk drawer and thought it was the coolest. Haven't done a case mod since.

So what happens when you push the lever down, does the CPU heat up? When it's done, does the DVD pop up? LOLz

tacosRcool · Oct 2, 2012, 08:23 PM

Question is... Can it make me some toast!?!?

AphexDreamer · Oct 2, 2012, 08:28 PM

Would be cool if heat sink was hot enough to actually toast some bread

Awesome job man.

You know what would have been cooler is to have a slot loading dvd burner

xBruce88x · Oct 12, 2012, 09:43 AM

Saw this on the case mod gallery... pretty sweet mod. I know what you could do for version 2.0. Use a 4 slot toaster and build a mini-itx fm2 system, with two of the slots still functional for toast

looks pretty sweet so far though I'd put a mesh flap at the top
