Who needs an AppleTV?

We got a new (HD!) telly which has a VGA port, so I finally got to hook up my new Linux media server: dsc03281.jpgOf course, I didn’t just leave the various parts strewn around: dsc03282.jpgNice and neat. Note the special enclosure design to allow maximum airflow: dsc03283.jpgAnd a closeup:dsc03284.jpg Clever design allows all the parts to fit in the basket. Well-placed Vodafone box stops the power supply’s metal case short circuiting all the twiddly bits on the motherboard. Overall layout:dsc03285.jpg All in all the project was a great success. I envisage many uses:

  •  Media hub
  • Modern art
  • Fire hazard
  • Tux Racer console
  • Accident waiting to happen

    Seriously get a case for it. The cheapest most soundproofed case (since it will be hidden) but as you pointed out… melty melty catches basket

    Love the blog, and that’s a great way to pack a computer unless you have a cat. Trust me.

    Congratulations to Auctomatic! I love to see Irish companies / talent doing well.
