DVD like Multimedia Computer (based on amigamcc)

[AmigaNG]

I'd just thought I'd share this build I did in Feb 2011, basically I always wanted to do a home media PC because I was always annoyed by some limitation that set top box put on you I just thought I'd make a PC. I looked on the net and couldn't really find any case I liked so I based my design on an prototype Amiga that never got made. AmigaMCC Pic below

and any way never done anything like this before I'd thought I'd make it out of wood

 

 

at first I'd thought this is maybe a bad idea and its not going to work, a few people on the net and friends said I was nuts its not going to work, but had no other idea about how to go about building the case so I thought I might as well just give it a go any way and see if it works out.

 if not I only lose out on about £50 building materials

 

Pretty happy with the end result and it been running fine and a great little system I have

see a vid of it here

 

 

and more of my build and progress here

so basically my point is always give it a try at building and modding it can be quite fun and my little system always turns a few head.

That's awesome. I had an Amiga 500 from new. It was my second computer ever after my first, a TI 99/4A. I still wish I had both of them

Aah the nostalgia. lol
