for all of u who don't know wut ddr is it's dance dance revolution.
this box was expecially made for this hard core game, it runs stepmania (www.stepmania.com), a ddr emulator.
originally the box was a rackmount server (sorry no orig pics) it was about twice as long. i basically just cut the case in half and used the half that held the mobo

specs
500mhz celeron
sum compaq mobo
256mb pc100
8gb maxtor hdd
cdrom
crap load of fans
hacked up emachine psu
 
Damn good idea for a DDR machine.... Maybe I should do this with one the random celerons I have laying around, It shouldn't take much to run SSM. Just gotta get a PCI card with s-video out =/
 
I don't believe you would go to the trouble of building another box to play a game like DDR...

DDR is A LOT better on the PC. For example, there is on average 50 songs per mix/version of the game. Stepmania, you can add your own songs, or however you want. I have just over 900 songs. Not to mention the video quality is a lot better, good enough to give you motion sickness. Its also free. I paid $0 for Stepmania and the songs you can download.

On to the case. I think its great so far. Could use some clean up and something to make it stand out instead of just being a metal box. ;) Good luck!

i second that
 
no plans for windows, or ne mods, since this case was originaly a rackmount thats cut in half it's strong (i could stand on it, jump , etc) and i want it to stay strong just in case.. lol i run stepmania and only have bout 280 songs

best part about this project.. it only cost me $35

35 for 2 mats and a ps2-usb controller (ebay)

Just search around for them. (IE, can't talk about it on the forums.) I have Mix 1-8, Korean v.2, Club 1/2, TournaMix 1-4, and a few other mixes.
