Computer inside a CD wallet

You think I'm joking don't you.

One of the easiest case mods I think I have done, I didn't even have to get out the dremel.

I need to get some black tubing or something to neaten up the hole for the passive heatsink and it's done.

while that is damn cool... i dont know if the big ass heatsink stick out of it still allows it to qualify as be "in" a cd case.. (im jokeing...;)) damn nice thought... specs?

ever consider a 1u cooler you might be able to get away with a nice copper 1u that is normally active and running it as passive seeing as how it has to be open to be used any way it should be able to do the job...

how well dose it do vid playback?
and last but not least... where did you get it..

you might want to think about lining the inside with some static bags or something. nylon tends to generate static.
 
It is a fully functional PC
P3 900 MHZ, 256 ram, 30 GB of Hard disk space, running a very stripped down windows with Open Home theater as the shell. On board network for easy uploading of files, and it has S-Video out for connection to a TV.
Video playback is flawless, but it only has stereo sound.

I wanted it to run silent, so the passive heatsink was a must, I did have a 1u heatsink and fan but it made massive amounts of noise, as those little screaming fans seem to. It will run with the case closed, with just the S-Video, Audio and power connected.
 
Now that's supercool, lots of potential there! Heat looks like an issue in a tiny space like that, unless you leave it unzipped. Zipped means cutting holes for USB and sound, I'd guess.What is that, a Geode processor or something? (can't remember if that's the right name) What did that little thing cost you, and how fast is it? I mean, could it run, say...Oregon Trail or Lemmings? ;) Just seems a bit plain...needs world's smallest water cooling: you could use a Tic Tac box for a reservoir and mod an Altoids tin for a radiator!! Sweet!

:D

Click to expand...

he would be better off lineing the bottom of the board with electronics paperboard, electrostatic bags are conductive and could shourt stuff out (at least on one side they are any way, but eather way, its not the correct thing to use)

as for the 1u cooler, did you try it with the fan dissconnected??? im curious about temps and stability?

For all of you still wondering about the CPU it is just a socket 370 Pentium 3.
The system was just a very small network server I pulled to bits, I'm trying to find a picture of it in one piece.
The 1U heatsink that came with the Motherboard was only about 1cm high and would overheat in minutes is the fan was disconnected. As it is with the passive heatsink it ran Prime95 for 24 hours during testing, with no errors and still warm to touch. I can't seem to get MB monitor or other such application to recognize the temperature sensors.

thats awesome. maybe use a bigger CD case - the ones that hold like 200 CDs so then you wont see the HS or anything and you can stick more peripherals onto the mobo.
its cool as hell thou.
 
That is pretty cool,my question is where is the memory onboard? What kind of motherboard is that?
