[QUOTE="MegaPVR_Rack, post: 940368, member: 85602"] I made one very similar to this in Feb 12, with the shorter depth version of the empty box (280mm vs. 350), it had almost the same hardware except mobo (Asus P8H67-M-PRO) and PSU (FSP external 150W brick and PicoPSU-150-XT), but it was very crowded inside and it had no front LCD, 4x USB ports instead but for a true Hi-Fi look I decided to ditch those (I have a small hub on the stereo rack). Without feet this thing fits a standard 1U rack. I have only this finished view of the inside, while I was working on the last touches to the front bezel. All front components are mounted to the backing front plate, ODD in a suspended cage derived from a broken Icy Box external slim-line enclosure, this way I placed the two 2.5" HDDs right under it, SSD sideways and 3.5" used as ATX cable holder :D [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/dunk5.1dts/RACK8/P1000234.jpg[/IMG] The front diisplay system, simply a PCB to convert the LPT1 26-pin header to the display 16-pin, provide 5V display and backlight power plus contrast adjustment. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/dunk5.1dts/RACK8/P1000222.jpg[/IMG] DVB-S2 and audio card one on top of the other. Note the LPT1 ribbon position...
