[done] My little HTPC build for mum :D selfmade

[Narnash]

 

Hello LTT Com,

 

I'm just (nearly, only OS left) finished a HTPC build, wich I assembled as a birthday present for my mom and I'm only 14d to late, new record!

_{I'm a bad son I know but it's not just  cheap crap and build it myself and it's unique} 

 

The spec list (most or near all used parts)

CPU: G3258 got it for 35 euro used, non oc'd at least yet for this build (but I tried it run on 4,5 GHz in this build I like it, It's even delided since it was my first delid test )

GPU: I will use the iGPU

RAM: 2x 4GB GEIL EVO Laggara  2400MHz CL11 both sticks for 45 euro (was a nice used deal)

Mainboard: Gigabyte Z87N-WIFI used for 70 euro (+a bit shipping)

Storage: Sandisk Plus 120 GB for approx 40 euro new as an Amazon deal

Drive:  LG BH16NS55 Blueray Writer new for 72 euro

PSU: Seasonic SS-350 bulk version used for 40 euro modded see on the fotos 

 

Case: SELFMADE made out of 4mm thick wood/bamboo looks nice but tend to curve a bit more than I like. I used this material for the look and to test it for upcoming future project

_{(the next project will go with a i7 4790t CPU , a q87t motherboard and an eDP's screan stay tuned, even If I don't know when I start on building, I have most of the parts)}

 

Masurements: I wanted to reproduce the masurements of the old DVD-Player from my mom it's 42,5 cm long, 9,5-10 cm in high and 27 cm in depth

Really nice job making the entire case out of Bamboo. That'd fit nicely beside a bonsai plant of some sort!

Wow, that's really cool! It's such a cheery little computer, great work!
