i really like this, im actually drawing up a case to be CNC'd for my xbox media center! What do you use to draw up your case?
ive got another question for you... what did you use as the trim on your laser cut box? Like the rounded sides?
I herd you like stealing quotes ey?
What materiall did you use for the case and does it work well with the heat from the mobo?
well do you think it could handle PS3 heat?
yeah, im almost finished with my case design, and i am going to be CNCing my out of a solid block of billet alluminum
I believe the outer shell of the ps3 already is acrylic, so yes. Just don't get 1/8th inch acrylic and rest hot components directly on it. I have 1/8th inch standoffs below my mobo so air can flow, and to prevent stresses. If the ps3 is not acrylic then maybe buy a small sheet of it locally and try some heat tests. As I said, make sure to leave some tolerance between motherboard and case. My case squeezes the mobo on all four sides. Also the aluminum will look good but be careful as shorts will be alot easier; and it only takes one bad short to ruin a motherboard Are you having the sides milled separately then bending them yourself or just creating a hollow container then a lid?
the competition is now closed
this is my favorite project, great job. God I wan't my own laser cutter.
I have to agree. This one was one of my favorites out of all of the submissions. Everyone did a great job. I think this slim box appealed to me mostly because I am working on doing a couple my self here in the near future. I think it's great that the xbox 1 is still a very viable option as a media center. Great work!
