We got a new (HD!) telly which has a VGA port, so I finally got to hook up my new Linux media server: 
Of course, I didn’t just leave the various parts strewn around: 
Nice and neat. Note the special enclosure design to allow maximum airflow: 
And a closeup:
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:
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

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.

That indeed, is a fire hazard waiting to happen.
Kudos for being innovative I guess
