Does anyone know where I can find semi-detailed plans of the computer inside a bartop (or a site showing how to build your own "mini-computer")? I've never really dealt with one outside the case and I'm concerned with the space limitations I will have when constructing one of these... Thanks! |

mini-itx.com is a great place to start |

Cant you get an epia fanless 800mhz or so for 100? And run all your classics with mame? I REALLY want to build one of these... but I don't have a bar top to put it on... So I guess I should keep my standup... but damn these things are cute. --- End quote --- Well, the benefits go way beyond the cost. For instance: * It "boots up" instantly. * It requires zero s/w configuration * It doesn't confuse my 4 year old * It never locks up; never blue screens; never gives any weird error messages It's obviously not for all uses, but it works incredibly well for what it is. ** I still have two of these cabinets available (empty) if someone wants to add their own electronics. PM me. I'm near Sacramento, and would prefer not to have to go through the trouble of shipping it. --- End quote --- Bismasterb: Awesome cabs, I bought both the PacMan and MsPac Jakks toys with the idea of hacking them for a purpose like this. Do you have any pics of the insides of these things? Any advice on how to open it safely? How about power, using a DC converter? Sorry to hit you with all these questions, just wondering before I start so I don't make a damaging mistake.....Thanks! |

I may have been the guy on ebay you saw. It was never pulled by ebay, but it didn't sell either. Shipping was too expensive. $100+ just to ship. I hacked a Namco 5n1 and used a 13" TV. I plan on adding some detail about the hack on my webpage this weekend. http://members.cox.net/fatbasta/minipacman.htm |
