Wall Mounted Jukebox
Barry Barcrest:
Ok i am starting my wall mount, i have stripped down a PC and i'm currently installing XP on it as i type this. I have however found out i don't have a power supply for my screen :( So i will not be doing too much on it tonight. Still i have started....
The holes at the front will each hold a plasma plate. As you can see it's just in primer right now i have not decided on a colour yet. I don't know if i will leave the PC in that chassis or just fix the motherboard and hard drive to the inside to save on weight. It's quite heavy already...
My plasma plates are 6" round, i was going to surround them with a neon speaker ring but i could only find those in 10" I really could have done with a 7" as that would help hide and brackets i have to put on the front to hold the plasma plates in place ::)

What software you going to use? ;)
Barry Barcrest:
Well i had lost my XP disc and thought i had found it, anyway i installed XP only to find it's the SP1 install not SP2 :( Plus side is it's quick, it boots up in about 10 seconds. I have both freebox versions installed and both worked first time without a hitch. It's now blasting out music videos as i type this. The touch screen is amazing, much better than the panel pc i was using before. I must also say a 2.8ghz P4 runs freebox much better than my old P700mhz panel used to.
Got to go and listen to some tunes now :D

Ok i have now screwed the PC into the unit and mounted it on a table for testing as i wanted to test out my back light idea. It seems to work well although when i set it to flash with the music it was a bit to much so i think i will just leave it on all the time. I just need to figure a way to fix the plasma plates now...
