Title: My idea...
Post by: Nightmare03 on January 31, 2004, 09:29:01 am

To build a control panel with common button layouts etc.. and put the pc inside it  ;D .

Have some built it speakers, output for external speakers and a port for the monitor to connect to!

I think its pretty cool/CHEAP if you dont have the room or money

Go for it!  I'd probably do it if I didn't have a laptop, but I do, so it just doesn't make as much sense for me.

The trick is to make sure you have good ventilation going through the box!  Heat would buld up pretty fast.
