Oops! There goes another Mountain Juke Box! (*05/04/2009*) Update
DaOld Man:
Ok, Ive been working on a copy of Mountains juke box for a few weeks now.
I have most of the parts together and have started on the wood work.
Here I am thus far:
Motherboard: 2.4 gig P4 Dell Optiplex 260 computer with 512 meg ram
Dell Optiplex power supply.
15" ELO touchscreen monitor.
80 gig HD.
Dell speaker bar.
Griffin Powermate (Still debating whether or not to use it.)
Current plan is to use XLobby for the juke software.

Sweet. Is 80GB going to be enough? I'm putting a 640GB one in mine (it was only $70!) so I won't ever have to worry about space. I can't wait to see some progress. At the rate these things are popping up I'll have more than mountain's example to go off of because I work so slow!
:cheers:
DaOld Man:
Thanks JH, I only hope that mine turns out near as good as yours.
Im hoping the 80 GB will be enough. Im not planning on saving any videos, so I guess I will find out.
Now on with the project, and a few pics to get started:
The mother board (with PCI expansion board):
Heres a closer look at the PCI expansion board. This baby has got to go!
And here is the board removed. Means less space needed for MB:
Here is motherboard attached to a regular monitor, in test mode. The CPU fan is in a very weird position (remember, just testing):
And here is the same 15" ELO touchscreen model that I think everyone else is using:
I am at a bit of advantage over the rest of you guys.
The touchscreen monitor arrived with a broken node (the little probe thing in the corner of the screen.)
It works as a monitor just fine, but the touchscreen part is dead.
I called the company and they said they would send me a replacement. I asked for a return procedure and they said to just keep it.
So I have a broken monitor to get all my measurements and correct fittings with.

I had the same problem with the first monitor I bought too. The transducer had a wire broken off and they sent me a replacement. I plan on operating on it sometime soon and building another juke (portable)
Good luck with the build! :cheers:
