Shame you had to cut the top, but that flip open to the I/O is sweet.

8/10 for the idea. 5/10 for the implementation. You should have got a low profile PSU rather than having that hack-job.

Here are some nice ones: (Note that the ART is in making the PC invisible except for the ports. No hack-jobs)

This ^^ is a classic, and my favorite. An old "BBC micro" from 1982, stripped of its internals, and now running Windows, office and webbrowser. (The picture shown is with the PC running a BBC emulator in Windows)


Nice recycle of old portable TV in new portable PC with media server functions


Not bad as a media server ^^ and HTPC.


LOL ^^ software AND hardware in the box, quite a twist!

while it may be ugly as heck but that's cool you should paint the psu to match the gray. either way 10/10.
