Tnx mhikevin, It's not that heavy as it's a mini PC. I think about 5 kg.
Yeah the pyramids have always something mystic about them. I got a matching keyboard (build in mouse and bluetooth) and remote control for it (remember it's a HTPC so in normal circumstances i only need the remote).
Keyboard and mouse
Remote
Worthy of a nobel prize. every inch of it.
TNX! I think this is mostly due to the way it's build : Layers.
Through the use of the layers u get much more a depth effect than when u would use straight panels.
Many TNX mhikevin!!....I sure appreciated it if someone actually sees the work involved in it.
definately a unique looking system.
specs be damned, the unique look and quality of the case just sets it apart. it really is something special.
You are a genius, not everyone can build something like that from scratch... I am jealous lol. BTW Are you a millionaire?
My first 10/10.
hehe, i wish i was...:D:D
Specs are never high for a HTPC. Realize that it's major purpose is Home Theather stuff. (vids,music,online vids/trailers etc). For a HTPC it's even overkill.
TPU should separate this site into two, one with OC (manufactured case), and the other really is about case mod (build from anything else but a PC case).
If you are reading this thread people, watch the video. It is worth it.
TNX!!
Well lotsa ppl have different opinions on what is a "CaseMod". A majority loves a case mod if it has the latest uberleet hardware in it and did throw in some lights. Look at the ratings this case gets. It rates from 6 to 10. So definitly ppl don't like it and don't see the effort it toke to make it, or ppl rate it a 10 that see the effort (tnx all for that..:D). It's like pantherx12 tells : it is not his taste but still can appreciate it.
Case modding should be were it stands for : modification.
On bit-tech they solved this by adding the tag "scratch build" or "case mod" to every project.
Believe me a pyramid shape has it's challenges and restrictions regarding stuffing a pc in it (i won't do it ever again...:D).
In the end it doesn't matter how anyone regards it. It's you who has to be satisfied on what you did (and I am..:D).
I was waiting for some Gould to pop out when It opened lol :p
People don't leave too many comments on that site, but there are plenty for your build!
Truly awesome stuff!
@erocker: Yeah it's featured on alot of sites now. I think geeky gadgets initiated this snowball. 10+ pages now if you google "pyramid htpc" ...........weird....
10/10
Just 2 questions:
1: What about DVDRom
2: How much You want for one like this :))
I got some new plans for a kewl thing but it's not a pc-mod. Just designing it if it's feasable. Think about hellraiser.....:)
1 ? U mean if it has a dvd player? It has.
2 100k+.........:)
12/10
Amazing, so much work had to be done to achieve this impressive result. Great job!
