Hi, im looking at that atom board from 'Newegg' and they are very impresive ! i thank 'kizer' for the links and of course 'barry barcrest' for the idea.
i have bought that monitor after finding some dimensions via google and it turned out to be 380mm x 296mm D-72mm with out the mounting rack... which i thinks still a bit big but i supose i cannot be picky !
because of how big the monitor is i supose the case isn't going to be that small. i got 2 bare wire speakers at our local computer fair £2 and i rigged them up to my little stereo and to be honest they sound really good! they are only like a back up if the juke isn't connected to anything else anyway so i was very happy with them!
i have also got a 320gb 2.5" SATA usb ehdd thing for all the music which im quite happy with the quickness of opening the tunes even though they are FLACs. the plan is to have a CF as the main hdd just to boot windows, does anyone know of some good links to check out and how long the CF lasts before it wears out ?
i won't be buying my motherboard till after christmas now due to im fast running out of money, due to a new laptop, a cheap trip to london that went badly wrong when i missed my train back and had to sit in a train station for 5 hours over night with no phone and no where to go !.... plus i was then billed £70 for a new ticket the next day !
i will however start the artwork i think....i was going for a bit of Black Sabbath but have been pursuaded Tails (of Sonic and Tails) would be a better choice... and also more fun looking :D
thanks again for the links and input i will go away and have a look round ebay and such which seem to be doing the board for about the same price with a bit of ram too
:cheers:

humm my artwork post randomly froze
basically... i vectorised that... im happy with it ... its going on the jukebox... i would like some opinions and idea's from you guys on what kind of artwork to do... have been getting so sonic backgrounds from the levels etc..
if anyone would like a copy of my tails in vector AI CDR or EPS format .. i can see what i can do
:cheers:

Personally I'm thinking Sonic on the left 'foot' of the juke and Tails on the 'right' foot (or vice versa).
Then possibly the Green Hill background on the front of the juke and find a good screen grab to base the graphic on so that the bottom of the screen has the hills etc and the rest of the screen is nicely filled with characters etc and so that it is an 'authentic' image rather than a mish mash of random sprites etc.
I also loved the Spring Yard Zone. That may fit your project too depending on your over all colour scheme. Obviously Green Hill would be a lighter coloured juke whereas Spring yard wold give you a darker scheme.

I like minimal artwork on a juke. Personally, I don't see the correlation of Sonic to a jukebox. Whats the gimmick? He make a cd or something?
