Project: Carputer – Part 4
by Dan on Aug.17, 2008, under Carputer
Well at long last, the desk is done and slowly, bits and pieces of it are filtering into my room to be assembled. Right now I’m installing Vista and drivers on the computer. Already I can tell that this is going to be one wicked setup. The downside is that I was a bit short sighted and only realized once I brought the front in…
I don’t have room for it.
Project: Carputer – Part 3
by Dan on Aug.04, 2008, under Carputer
Spent the past few days putting way too much time and effort into the desk. I’ll spare you the nitty-gritty right now and just pass on a picture and some details.
As you can see, I have the monitor in and set to go. After countless hours, I finally found a feasible way to mount the drives in the console. I cleaned it up a bit and filed down some rough edges. All I have left to do is the body work, ventilation, and hooking up the computer.
Speaking of computer, I have it all built and set to go. Here are the specs.
- Antec Three Hundred case
- AMD 6000+ 3.0 ghz dual core processor
- 650W 3-rail power supply
- ATI HD4870 video card
- 500GB hard drive
- 4GB RAM (2x2GB)
- 2 DVD RW drives
- Super multi drive (card reader, eSATA, fan controls, USB ports)
- Fan controller
- 17″ Dell widescreen monitor
That’s all for now. Keep on going with the photoshopping contest!
