  1. Hi Bill. I said on the onset I want to use normal size hardware which indeed makes everything so tight. Wanted to see if it was possible.That's the fun. Here is a stage update with photos so far for those following.To make floor and rear panel took ages.
  2. After using this theme I am finding it so much easier on the eyes. Well Done, BOB.:thumbsup:
  3. Thanks Bob.I like very much.
  4. What have you tried?, Tony
  5. We posted at the same time,Tony. Sorry didn't see yours till I posted. Same thoughts.
  6. This ticking comes and goes.Quite possible a wire may be touching a fan blade. Double check, Peterr.
  7. As I just posted this is half the size of a mini computer, Pete. Yes a lot of fun for me to see if it's possible. It does keep the old grey cells very active.What I have left.:big_grin: Something to do, and I like building Computers. Retired, you need something that occupies the mind.:)
  8. The Ultimate use is to use as a normal computer. No, the larger challenges is to make everything fit in an area half the size of a mini tower, make it still look like a radio and maintain cooling under any load. Then to cut holes exactly without mistakes and drill holes in the base Template exactly to mount all hardware, as you only get one go at getting it right. Using normal size hardware is the challenge in such a confined space. Everyone has their hobby. Mine is building computers.
  9. You got that right, Will. A lifetime of collecting. Had the day off today and done a couple of hours tonight. Painted the frame and new floor and back. Should be dry by the morning and will take some photos. Not a lot of room to fit all normal sized Computer parts in. Space is 32cm wide, 28cm deep and 10cm high. By far the toughest I have attempted so far.:)
  10. Was, Guys. I have made modifications to the inner frame. If only I had known.:weep: All the more reason now to make sure it turns out the best I can do.
  11. Yes it was working fine,Tony. Was not aware it had monetary value.:weep: It was sitting on a shelf in my workshop and thought "why not"
  12. Thanks for the interest. I will have some more progression stage photos tomorrow with commentary.:)
  13. Yes this one is difficult as back panel is half of the base and has a 5mm raised pressed rib running across the middle of the base,so Mobo can't sit flat on risers.So a new base and rear panel will have to be made. You can't see there but my workshop is fully equipped with every electrical tool and machines one could wish for. I am up for the challenge. Thanks for taking interest.I am not one to give up easily.LOL I will take photos of different stages if anyone is interested.:)
  14. OMG, where do I start.:D
  15. I am one of those odd people who don't carry a phone. I have one in the car for emergencies. What am I missing? :)
  16. Thanks Bob.I will give it my best shot.
  17. Linux users thought they were safe. Not anymore.
  18. This is what I started with.
  19. I am in the process of putting all computer parts in a Yamaha shelf Radio. Normal sized hardware. Why? Because it's quite a challenge this one. I have bits everywhere and so many modifications must be made. It will have a CD/DVD as well. I am pulling my hair out with this one.:wacko: If this works I will post when finished.:)
  20. The top one is very close but slightly darker. Code f0f0f0 I like both. Thanks Bob. It would really help with the glare.
  21. Mozilla have changed Firefox background from ultra white to HTML Code f2f2f2 I like it. No glare and so easy on the eyes.
