Its there a way to use touchtunes hardware with windows?
abispac:
So today i went shopping and found an hp pavilion 570, i5 7th gen with 16gb ram, 1tb harddrive and 128gb m2 SSD plu an and r5 4302gb ddr5 video card all for 100 dlls, not bad. Im installing windows right now, but the m2 drive is not compatible, so I need to find another one. Even thought it didn't fit the case It looks good.
lilshawn:
nice! lots of room... you could just put a slab of plywood in there and then screw down your motherboard for an easy mounting solution.
looks like that m.2 is designed for a wifi card only, and not an ssd drive

Actualy i did used the bottom part of the original computer case and its bolted to the juke, ill see if i can take better pictures, no need for a plywood part, the bottom part of the computer case has a plasticcover that prevents the motherboard from touching any metal parts and its 100% secured.

oh, nice! I was going to suggest cutting out (or removing) the motherboard tray and mounting it in there, but thought it might be a bit much. everyone's a little different when it comes to "do it yourself" kinds of hacks. mounting a chunk of plywood is a super easy way of mounting stuff in metal cabinets. i've modified older NSM CD wallbox jukeboxes (firebirds, gemstars, etc) to touchscreen jukes and the whole inside is metal, makes for mounting stuff kinda hard... tossing a completed computer/power supply/control boards mounted to plywood and using a few existing holes can make it so i could get a juke done in a day... and if things go sideways (fried power supply or dead computer)... i can yank out the whole thing and toss in another and be back going in 20 minutes.
i would have no issue busting out the angle grinder and hacking stuff up (as i've done many times before) :lol

Well, im not the guy that takes pictures of everything as I get exited and get my hands to work all the time, but basically what I did was, with the original computer cased, I didn't send to you , cus I knew I was gonna use it to put the computer there, since the computer didn't fit , I used the bottom part, wich is basically a giant heat sink, the good part was, the compute case already had a good mount with the regular computer 4 screws for the heat sink , so all I did was, removed the 4 original screws that holds the heatsink the computer I bought, installed the motherboard in the 4 bolts from the touchtunes heatsin case and it was a perfect fit, no need to drill extra holes or nothing, not sure if I'm making any sense. At the end to get rid of harddrives, I installed my laptop 1tb hardrive and Im gonna use the 128gb for personal use, i was not using the 1tb anyway. So yeap, computer boots and does everything faster. Anyway my pictures suck but here you can seem using the original part so its bolted nice and tight.
