Thanks for the input --- End quote --- If you're not willing to decase a PC you're not going to get a reasonable bartop built. It's pretty much mandatory. The case is 80% empty space for no reason and is actually counterproductive inside a cabinet. |

Decasing a computer is not all that hard. Look at my bartop thread. I just have the components mounted to a 1/4" piece of MDF that I slid into the cab. TTFN |

may have an idea, I have thought about trying to make a bartop with one of these for a while but don't have any time right now. It's a Profile 3 made by Gateway, I have one in my basement but it is missing a processor, HDD and maybe the cd rom, not sure. I would feel bad selling it as it, not knowing if it works even or not. I worked on these in an earlier job, they are really pretty good machines. 15" lcd, will run PIII up to 1GHz. if you can live with these specs you might be able to pick one up pretty cheap on ebay. It would be an easy install. You could take the back off if you wanted to cool it better. It does have a fan on the rear of the case. Just an idea. They are up to profile 6 now I think, I worked on 4 a little, good also but not as compact. Also the profile 3 should be relatively cheap compared to the others as it is PIII only. Good luck |

Would be easier to find one of the older Imacs. |

I may try decasing a machine, only thing I would be worried about is how to setup the on off switch. Also that profile pc is a good idea thanks., |
