I have recently undertaken the task of installing a computer in a CD player case, the motherboard doesn't have inbuilt sound or graphics, but I am looking tio swap it for one that does.
It;ll play both MP3s and CDs and I was wondering if you think its a good idea..
I want to build a small amp into it too, and possible include a TV tuner card.. what do you think?
Do those pictures all show up alright.. lol

I am planning on using a DC-DC powersupply with an external transformer, this way it can also be run in the car ETC..
The powersupply is already mounted in it... Its the thing between the motherboard and the front of the case, sortov next to the CDrom drive.. A nice mobo for something like that is the via mini-itx. Plenty of room inside your case for that. Everything onboard: video, sound, usb, eth, vidoe out, spdif, firewire, ser, par, and a cpu that uses 10W, with a tiny fan. And hardware accelerated mpeg on the latest, but that one is hard to find.
Go to www.mini-itx.com for a primer.

made one last year works great networked it with my server so i can download movies and mp3's. i used a industrial single board computer. it has onboard lan gps support for larg drives and small laptop drives.the board only runs on 12volt and 5 volt.so finding a small psu was easy took one out of a dead printer.put it all in a box the size of a ps2 playstation. a year later took it apart needed the part's. still got the back plate. it was about this size

with your setup
when i installed a cd rom it worked good. i found using a pull out
drive in place of the cd rom had better storage get two one for your home pc and one for the player.you can just change harddrives instead of a network. i got mine used supper cheap
like $20 each hmm $40 thats just about what the old lady leaves me with
for mp3's i used a dos player and just sysed the drive so it was like a bootable floppy. i would type in mp3 player.exe and i would get a list. even picks up your sound card ill get a link so you can play around with it

Re: with your setup
lol, I don't have a wife or kids... or n income.. lol
I think network is what I'll go for.... I can't use one of those HD caddies, the case is too small, and the powersupply won't be able to power an extra HD as well as the first one and the CDrom..
Yeah, I've used MPxplay before... LOT!! first on a 100mHz 486.. then a P75, which had a character LCD screen and was in that wooden box that a later put the P200MMX it.. good program... has support for almost everything..

Okay... I ahve more pictures... I got another motherboard with inbuilt sound and graphics, but its bigger than the old one.. still fits in the case, but I have to rethink the powersupply... Some pictures? why not... I am now planning on building an amplifer into the case.. so far I have mounted the transformer for the amplifeir and some "shielding" I have made and run the IDE cables.... umm.. mounted most of the sockets (still have to do audio)... and.. well.. thats pretty much it.. lol
