cyr said:I'm doing something similar, I've managed to squeeze a standard baby AT motherboard, network and sound cards, CD-ROM and power supply into a standard 1U case (not a 1U computer/server case).
The ISA 90deg angles are DIY, but PCI is a bit more complicated...
It has *no* harddisk (boots from a flash card) and *no* fan (the CPU is thermally connected to the case).
WOW!!! THAT IS SO KEWL!!!
I was originally going to dismantle the CDrom, but then I found that it fitted in as it was.. JUST!! the bottom is resting on the harddrive, the top is resting on the top of the case, and the front of the metal CDrom case is "jammed" between a piece of plastic, and the PCB the buttons are mounted on.. 😛 lol, I tried puttng a different CDrom in, but it wouldn't fit!!! TOO WIDE!!!
YOU MADE THE ISA ADAPTERS!?!?!?
I was going to try that, but my main problem was finding ISA sockets, WITHOUT having to desolder them from an old motherboard.. 😛 Where abouts are you cyr??

I WISH I HADN"T HACKED A HOLE IN THE BACK OF THE CASE FOR A FAN!!! EVERYTHING ELSE WAS SO NEAT!!!!




You can allways use a Xbox, that is basically a PC, and allready comes in a CD like case.
Just buy a mod chip, and there you go!
Linux in a EX-XBOX! I bet Bill Gates is a bit mad with this hehehe.
Wait! If I had all his $$$$ I wouldn't be mad with anything😀

I would love to get an Xbox and run Linux on it... I would also like to get a DreamCast.... and a Playstation One.... BUT I HAVE NO MONEY!!! lol.. 🙂
Consider using PCI sound cards instead, even the crappy ones sound a lot better then their ISA counterparts (unless this is some wacko ISA soundcard).
Also, the heatsink on that Pentium looks a little skimpy, but great work otherwise!

Are you talking to be? lol... The heatsink is as big as I can make it... lol WHY?!?!? cos its glued to the CPU.. 🙄 Pentium.. bahh!!
Glued on with what exactly? You should be able to brute force it off, those Pentiums can take a pounding.
Nah, it runs fine overclocked to 225Mhz in the wooden box (see first post) on a 40degree hot day... 🙂 lol
I wouldn't go higher than 225Mhz.SkinnyBoy said:Nah, it runs fine overclocked to 225Mhz in the wooden box (see first post) on a 40degree hot day... 🙂 lol
considering living in Australian Heat..
Maybe here in Sweden, we can overclock upto 250-300Mhz -----
At least in wintertime ..

my motherboard won't let me go higher than 233 anyway... and I don;t think it will run stable at that without increasing the CPU voltage, which makes it run hotter, WHICH I DON"T WANNA DO!!! lol
