The "HTPC"
By Clarre
Strand - Posted on July 20, 2002
Introduction
Clarre Strand in Sweden has created a great
looking custom case in the shape of a 1/10 size Ford Focus
Rally Car! Along with the usual construction guide, we've
included many hi-res pictures in the HTPC
Gallery.
You can contact Clarre at here
and us at feedback@mini-itx.com.
Do you have a Mini-ITX based project we should be seeing here?

1. Choosing
the Shell
My latest project is a
HTPC with a Mini-ITX motherboard at its core. I wanted to
build my own case for it. A lot of my ideas came from
the original GTRPC
site, although for that BlueSmurf used a 1/8 scale car and
this one is 1/10 scale. Editors note: BlueSmurf's later
Mini-ITX based Project
Jellybean is also 1/10 scale.
I chose a car like this:
This is the shell for my
HTPC. The shell is only 40 (15" 3/4) x 20 (7" 7/8)
x 13cm (5" 1/4) high.
The shell from another
angle. I cut out spaces for the wheels and trimmed the body
so that I could mark out the chassis.
2.
The Chassis
The chassis. I cut it out
with a jigsaw.
The shell on the chassis.
It's a nice fit. Now on to the wheel mounting.
