    I spy a Rev 0.1 I have a Rev 0.2 Other interesting things. The final shipping version will probably look different than both.

    Wow...took me a while to find that. It is where a button battery carrier would go if the board included one. My guess is they reserved a spot for it but eventually wacked it in a cost-cutting decision. The board doesn't keep the time because it has no battery attached. Instead it synchronizes...

    I didn't really get mine "early". I have been working with VIA for nearly 10 years in producing display projects used at trade shows like CES and Quakecon. I don't get paid for it but I do get pretty much anything I want whenever I want it. :) Another difference popped up between what I have...

    Next I'll hook it up to my 40" HDTV and give that a go. I haven't played with this thing more than ten minutes since I've had it. I have discovered that it isn't a production model. It only has half the storage that is quoted and there is no Angry Birds installed. :mad: Probably other things too...

    Here is a video I shot showing a 720p .mkv file being played from a USB flash drive. It is hooked up to an old dusty 15" Viewsonic monitor using a VGA cable. The camera doesn't do it justice but here it is anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rATAVqTVOAo&feature=youtu.be

    Thanks Dans34. Welcome to the forums. I don't have a manual so I will have to test the connections to see what they do. The front panel connector has power switch and power light. It is a standard 2x5 block. Not sure if a HDD activity light would be included since there are no PATA or SATA...

    I just got banned over at the Raspberry Pi forums. I get a lot of traffic to my website from there so I decided to join up and post a thread featuring Acero. One of their users posted a link to his etsy.com sales page pimping his RPi case. I complained about it and they banned me. Both hilarious...

    I appreciate the offer but...my problem is lighting. With a better lighting setup I wouldn't need a fancier camera that corrects the bad lighting. Sometimes I get lucky with the lighting and that is what I count on. I eventually got decent photos of Level Eleven that I challenge anyone to do...

    Thanks! I appreciate that. Thanks! That's the problem with the Coke can as the Universal Size Comparator. Rules against free advertising. I stopped worrying about bad comments a long time ago. If I wanted them to stop all I have to do is post a comment myself. The roaches scurry like turning on...

    You remember! It is actually from the same trash can but this is the end of it. Thanks! ************************************* I have a few minor things to do like paint the bottom of the base. I'm continuing my mighty struggle with the camera and lighting. I shot this video today that...

    It's sexy and it knows it. :) Humble too. Thanks. Thanks Sn0_Man! The DC power jack is the round hole next to the VGA port. I designed it so the greater mass of cables was located down low on the I/O plate. A big concern was having the unit be top-heavy. Tail wagging the dog scenario. The base...

    Thanks! I'll be interested in seeing it also. :) I'm not sure about your replacing components comment. The "cover" fits over the "chassis" and just lifts off to get to the internals. Couldn't be any easier. There is no need to veneer the cutout edges because they won't be visible at all. Maybe...

    Thank you. I appreciate that! Thanks Josiah! Thanks for the comment. This particular veneer is leftover from another project. I didn't like how light the wood finished and the contrast in the birds-eyes was disappointing. (That didn't stop Kyle from putting in on the front page of [H].) :) I...

    I was going to let someone else do the light work. Considered converting it to metric but what's the fun in that?

    Just shy of 8 inches. I'll have some size comparison photos later on. After drilling small pilot holes in the aluminum sheet I use hobby files to slowly enlarge the ports. I constantly match the work up against the board to keep everything aligned. Took about 14 hours while watching a Red Dwarf...

    This forum section is about modifying and constructing computer cases. I could post an empty case here and it still wouldn't be pointless. I'm sure you'll find many people over in the hardware sections who are impressed with your vast knowledge of what "fits in most people's setups."

    Hey Jesse. I suspect that real journalists under NDA are testing and writing about it right now. I'm just decorating the table not fixing the meal. :)

    Cool! That is definitely Mondrian. Actually, if you tone down the primary colors you can see the Mondrian influence in Microsoft's new Metro UI. Also, take a look at the header on the website TheVerge. More seems to be popping up everyday. Could this be some sort of trend?

    The Boing Boing commentary is usually from much higher quality douchebags. I'm having fun with it though. I would almost guarantee that the PicoPSU 120 will drive any GPU that don't use add'l power connectors. It would be fun to see how high up the Ivy Bridge CPU ladder you can go before it...

    Thanks! See JoeUser's link below. Thanks Joe! That is the exact model I'm using in this project. I've known the owner of the company for 8 years and was a beta tester for the original Pico PSU. Amazing product. Before the haters show up they should google Mondrian and at least realize that...
