Ok I built a bigger one before and I started a small version last year. This might be fun to finish here.
The first one was about the size as a 5 gal aquarium. It used a Micro Atx mobo and was a attention getter at my shop.
The latest one is much smaller, 7" wide 8" high and 10" front to back. It will use the Lego Mobo and guts.(damn SFF stuff costs a lot!)
The Lego mobo is 6 1/2" X 7". It will use a laptop HDD and a Laptop DVD. the slot in the front is for the DVD drive. Its been in the closet for over a year so its a little dusty but I will clean it off as I go. the pict shows a floppy so you can guage the size.
Ok questions,
first- I was going to use fans to cool it. I also thought about using the water in the tank. So should I use Water Cooling (dosent really need it cause it runs pretty cool)
second- should i use the water part as the water tank? (fake fish)
third- for the back panel behind the mobo what color, red, blue, orange, smoke or clear? I figured for the top I would make it out of smoke to kind of hide the lights. (just imagine glowing fish with a UV)
