Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Modding a TV for my Dad
You know this weekend I came across a one sided mirror that was designed to be placed in front of an lcd screen. It wasn't a standard one sided mirror (those tend to blur the image coming through it). Obviously not something I would use for this mod, but it got me thinking to other practical... -

Modding a TV for my Dad
I dissambled the whole thing already. Mainly because I had to drop the floor and the way it was put together (with glue and massive amounts of screws) it wasn't worth it to just hack out the floor. Pics soon though. I am buying a new tablesaw and a router, I've been putting it off for a... -

Modding a TV for my Dad
Well I was contemplating having the side panels slide out and be locked. However I really want the case to be as sturdy as it was before. This is actually hard to explain without pics. I'll attempt to anyway, but I'll need to come back with pics. When I first started taking apart the frame... -

Modding a TV for my Dad
Odd I never thought this would get bumped. Well no new pictures, but I'm working on the front panels so they can open use and expose the drive bays of the machine behind it. There is an issue I'm working on where the side panels themselves are slightly smaller than the width of a standard... -

Modding a TV for my Dad
And now an update.. So I started to take apart the cabinet so I could make the two sides of the front panel open up on hinges. I figured it wouldn't be too hard, a few screws here, few there, cut around the outside and we'll have the panels off... Well evidently they made tv's to... -

Modding a TV for my Dad
Working on it. My domain seems to be down for the moment. I have a ticket open with them to get it back up and running. They claim it will be up by tomorrow morning. In the mean time I was taking apart the cabinet and made a shocking realization. Everything that I thought was wood is... -

Modding a TV for my Dad
I was contemplating a number of tv's to fit the frame. The only reason I chose the DELL over anything was because the screen itself was outlined by 3/4" black border, and that outlined by a 3/4" silver border. This was consistent on all 4 sides. So from edge of screen to edge of frame was... -

Modding a TV for my Dad
I probably should take pictures of the ht system sitting next to the tv, it's a pretty standard 5.1 system. Odds are 99% of the time I will be using the external ht system vs internal speakers + sub. I've been contemplating the rack idea and based on the hardware I can get at the moment... -

Modding a TV for my Dad
So the monitor worked fine last night. Came home from work and turned it on to watch it get stuck in a reboot cycle. It doesn't seem to want to come out of it. Called Dell and they're sending me a replacement unit. In the mean time I'll use this unit to mock up the wooden frame I'll need... -

The monitor arrived. I only had time to unpack it today. I'll continue the project on the weekend. For now it will just be a tv, but eventually as I get the hardware it will become the media center itself. -

Modding a TV for my Dad
So I've been holding off trying to figure out what screen I'm putting in there. I've looked at a number of 32" LCD tv's but none that would really work easily with this case. I've always had my eye on the Dell 32" W3201C, but have just been holding off for a bit... -

Yea I was wondering when that would come up... Good eye.. -

Modding a TV for my Dad
That's pretty close to what I want it to look like when it's done. Except I'm not entirely sure I'll be removing any part of the front plate. I want to try to keep it as clean as possible. Also the screen will be sunken into the cabinet by about 1.5" and using the dimensions of the dell 32"... -

Modding a TV for my Dad
I think a 30" Monitor might be a wee bit too small for this cabinet. Ideally if they made a 32" Monitor I'd be cool, but it seems everything in that range are TV's Now I would -love- to make the front panels on the side (where the rackmounts will be) open up on hinges. But the whole... -

Modding a TV for my Dad
Ahoy. Well I've been looking into shallow rackmounts and found a bunch that are about 14" deep. Which pretty much means I can still convert the rest of the wasted space into a rack of sorts. Here are my sketchups (and the model in case people want to play around) First a rear view...
