Completed Project: Hackintosh, Jr.
Before I start, I didn't take any pics of this during the build process. I was "in the zone" and decided to just keep going. From start to finish there is about two weeks of evening and weekend work. I'll also say this is possibly my personal favorite case...

FS: Huge lot of Compact Flash Cards
Bought for various embedded systems projects, so some have been used. All the larger cards have light to no use. Those were bought then found to not meet my standards for performance or compatibility. All cards have been tested to work in USB Card readers and...

Playing around with an idea here. Right now I have my systems rack-mounted, which makes for a compact setup, but also puts a couple of them out of easy reach. Not much of a deal, but can be a big pain when troubleshooting or overclocking because I have to constantly lean over and reach down to...

Since I've been slacking off on the Windows Home Server Cube, I threw something together over the last few days to get me back into the swing of things.
The breadbox had an aluminum shelf inside, about 16"x 7.5". I also had a Commell LE-370Z. Hmmm, that's a nice and tiny board, pretty much...

After finishing my Merom Mini Cube I had temporarily installed the beta of Windows Home Server. I liked it, but that system was supposed to go to my job, and now that I finally got all the bugs out I plan on taking it there.
Since I wanted something to mess with WHS, and I have a lot of parts...

In order to avoid a cheap Dell at my job, I've been supplying my own work PC. Currently that's a power-sucking, heat-generating Pentium XE965 system in a classic Antec/Chenming Dragon case. It's more than adequate for my needs, but due to the layout of my office it sits on the floor and pretty...

Sometime a week or so back I decided I hated the full tower cases in my room, and wanted to get a little floor space back. Made the decision to go rackmount, but I didn't want the typical huge rack cabinet. Got this idea in my head to build a 12/14u cabinet. Did my planning during my day job...

Dothan #1 is a 1.5GHz, 2MB, Pentium-M 715. Been running at 2GHz on the AOpen i855 mATX board without breaking a sweat, but I never tried for more. OEM chip.

Dothan #2 is a 1.4GHz, 2MB, Pentium-M 710. Never tried to overclock this...
Just picked up some of these for various projects/resale and had the chance to play with overclocking one. These are based on the Pentium-M Dothan core, stripped down to 1MB cache and only the most basic power savings. 1.3GHz, C0 core, and they have the Execute Disable feature.

Intel Shelton "ITX" - A Via alternative
In August of last year there were reports on tech sites about an Intel platform for embedded and low-cost/low-power systems named Shelton and based on a cacheless 1GHz Celeron chip. Initially it was thought to be PIII based, but turned out to be based...
As of right now I have three different mp3 players, none of which works that well for my "mobile" audio needs. Two don't have enough storage, and the third just doesn't work like I'd like it to work. As a result, I've decided to put together my own mp3/audio player PC for use at home and in the...

Used but working great. Come with storage cases, a PCMCIA adapter, and even the original software for the adapter. Can no longer use them, current digital camera only takes Type 1 cards, so I'd be willing to trade for like or close to the same capacity Compact Flash Type 1 cards.

Inspired by Tom61's PC in a drive bay project, I decided to blatantly steal his idea and build my own version.
First, the parts.
Main part of this project is an Advantech SBC. Originally designed for use in a PCI backplane, it can operate just fine without one.
Here are the basic specs...
The Purpose:
Um, because I have the extra hardware and spare time? Really, I have nothing planned for this once it's built. It's basically just being done to pass the time until I get around to building a DriveBayPC using similar parts.
The Parts:
- The case is an old steel lockbox, hence...

Building my fourth drive case using an old Civil Defense Radiation Fallout Meter. Here are links to numbers one, two, and pics of number three can be seen at the end of #2.

Portable/Lockable CD burner case
