Talking iPhunny

Seeing the competition's deadline is fast approaching, i decided to finally acquire some items over the weekend for my modding project.
The idea is probably decent, but it will all depend on my (poor) execution skills

basically, i plan on doing a certain "wall-hanger" type of thing, but i wont give much details because if i mess things up, you guys wont notice ....

anyways, i wont be using a computer case, but it will have a motherboard, (which i will probably buy today)
and a computer screen, and hopefully, it will end up looking like an iphone

so here's the list of items that im using (and or plan to use)

-Plexi glass sheet
-Lexan adhesive
-Paint roller tray
-Glue
-Fan Controller
-Remote controlled "Power On"
-VGA mounting plate

soon to buy

-LED's
-Motherboard
-Ram
-Laptop HDD
-Touchscreen LCD
-Spray can paint (glossy white, and black primer)
-Screws








I was going to use this but due to SPACE LIMITATIONS, i decided not to ...

I finally purchased the mini-itx motherboard that i will try to accommodate inside the paint tray



as you can see from this picture, the mobo itself is just a tad larger than the average sized cd



so i went ahead and also purchased a mini PS which a this point im not too sure is going to fit well



so anyways, i test fitted the motherboard considering that also the touch screen and hard drive need to be placed inside, with enough clearance for the fan controller and the remote



for as much clearance as it appears to have, once i placed both things inside, i realized that i may need to buy a second paint tray, or perhaps a deeper one (if is even made)



the cpu heatsink has clearance issues as well as part of the PSU but i wont be sure until i have the last piece



so now, the deciding factor from either using this paint tray as the case, or buying something bigger, will be the touchscreen monitor .... once i get it, and see if there's more fitment issues, ill either add plexi to the sides, or join two trays together...
hopefully once i get everything onto place, ill start the measurements, drilling, cutting, and painting ...

It doesn't look like you've done much. But some of the prizes will be a random drawing. You need to start a Work Log at A4T to be offically entered.
