Following the very easy de-casing guide i posted earlier, i did mine, done in about 20 seconds as i didn't want to snap the plastic surround ;) de-cased sizes are (portrait) - H430mm x W278mm x D52mm approx . the grey metal surround is 9mm all round so should be easy to work out when i router out the bezel like i've done with my other bartops. the little speakers are 60mmx30mmx 25mm, they are like a wedge shape so 25mm is the fattest part, very easy to remove from the monitor and should be easy to extend to where i need them :) hope this info is useful to someone if they have the same monitor. still not really decide on a design but will be small and compact and be single player only ;D |

Just done a quick mockup on a piece of 12mm mdf, has you can see there's a few rubbed off pencil marks, hopefully you can see kinda the idea i'm going for, it won't have a straight back although i may have to use 2mm mdf for the back panel as it looks very tight in there :o the monitor will be recessed in the 12mm mdf bezel about half way so will gain a little bit of room there. front to back is 400mm, height is 555mm, width will be monitor (278mm) plus a bit either side and then 2 12mm side panels, so maybe about 320mm in total :) |

Wow, didn't realise it had been this long but given my track record it's hardly surprising ;) Finally got back into looking at the thin client, was wondering how to power the fans for cooling, a quick google later it seems there is a 12v source on the motherboard (https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/wyse/d/dx0q/), just what i needed, a quick rummage thru my many parts boxes i rigged up a down'n'dirty solution. 1 x JST spare wire from the many zero delay kits i bought, a little bit large so had to snap off the little plastic tabs on the socket, ideally a smaller JST would have been better, used the middle 2 pins as one is 12v and the other ground. 1 x chinese fan controller that i snipped off the molex connecter and then wired up to the JST wire above. 1 x 120mm case fan from way way back when LED's were cool ;D 1 x 92mm fan from some random cpu cooler, even as a couple of O rings still stuck on to stop vibrations. :o it works a treat, think the 120mm will be the intake in the bottom of the bartop, to give it a blue glow and the 92mm will be the exhaust high up on the back. Also should be able to rig up a button for the power switch instead using the one at the front :) |
