project blk box

[modder420]

so i was cleaning out the shop and found a ton of old parts and scrap wood lying around so instead of throwing it all out i decided to build a all in one media center/retro game system useing just the stuff i had in the shop.i found a sony vio laptop with a broken screen and trashed keyboard.the computer itsself still worked when hooked to a monitor so i stripped it down to just the motherboard.it has 8 gigs of ram i5 processor wifi blutooth 1tb hdd.the plan is to build a settop box that runs xbmc steam and emulators the machine will boot right into xbmc by defualt and i will customize it to run the other apps from xbmc.so first thing i did was build a case for it out of the spare wood i found here are pics of what i done so far.

will have a update soon uploading more pics now

so i decided to do a wrap on the case inside and out.i wanted a hardcore gaming look for the case so i went with black Carbon Fiber Vinyl for the bottom of the case and a red reflective vinyl for the inside for the lid i did a dimond plate so far it looks awesome.i found 2 anti vandel switches lying around that will be perfect for this case test fitted them and they are badass they have a red led that lights up when on.i still have alot to do gonna add some case feet and do some sleving on the wires.gonna see what else i got lying in this pile of parts to add will have a update soon.

That's some bad @$$ work right there! Can't wait to see this puppy firing up some homebrew emulators! Great work, like the carbon fiber and diamond plating!
