hardnrg Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 nice... oh and btw, there isn't a rev A2 EVGA 680i... that's just what CPU-Z says for all EVGA 680i mobos, or at least all the A1 mobos says A2... I think AR says A2 as well... maybe even TR and T1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 oh thanx! how do I figure out what it is then? Is it on the sticker between the cpu and memory? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 oh well, its ok. I will figure it out soon. As for progress on the vcr pc, theres a small update- I've been working on a custom bracket to hold the dvd drive, but during the process of making it, I offered to help my neighbors move out. It should be able to hold a regular-sized drive. I will most likely resume on monday. I love my dremel! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Inner_Fred Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Looks like someones really creative. I would have never though of using a VCR as a case... Hows are u going to get decent cooling with such a compact case? And it doesn't seem like u could install a Graphics card i there Sadly...

Andrewr05 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 And it doesn't seem like u could install a Graphics card i there Sadly...90˚ PCIe riser card or a ribbond riser card should work... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) you beat me to it...a riser would definitely make things easier, but a low profile card should fit easily as well. There are plenty of ventilation holes on the top and the bottom. In addition to that, I might make some kind of mod for an exhaust fan, I don't know. I might actually be able to work on the dvd drive bracket thing today, so I'll post some pictures later. Also, I once saw on another forum a work log of a similar project, except it was a cd player. That thing was awesome though, because it used a screen on the front, and even the original remote!

qwerty Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Another update! The dvd drive bracket is done, but I don't have a drive that fits. All I have is an old cd burner that is too long therefore interfering with the ram slots . I was trying to see how to put an old NIC card I have laying around, but then I realized that wireless would be better. Now I just have to look around for a cheap wireless card. Things left to do consist of: obtaining a dvd burner that is either slim or short enough to fit, pico-itx power supply, obtining the wireless network card and making minor mods if necessary, and modifying the cassette door thing to hide the dvd drive. It is going to be a while before I have money to get the extra parts, so for now this is an unfinished project . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Well, for now you can run it with out the top panel and set it up with an old power supply, use a wired Ethernet card, and use any dive you have laying around to just tinker with it till you have the money for the correct parts...

qwerty Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Yea I guess...but I will most likely sell it on ebay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
