The "SpaceCase"
By Bart Banaan - Posted on June 21, 2002
Introduction
We have the great pleasure of bringing you another
great EPIA-Based PC project. Bart Banaan
in the Netherlands has created a custom case made of Plexiglass
- if there were a competition for number of lights crammed
in a PC we're sure Bart would win easily! In Bart's own words
he wanted the LED's to be "near burning your eyeballs".
We can only imagine he's trying to avoid seasonal affective
disorder next winter!
He's managed to squeeze much more than bright
lights in there, too - there's also a very nifty looking LCD
panel (much larger than you normally see in PC projects).
The construction pictures are very informative and he planned
his project well - enjoy. We've included over 50 hi-res pictures
in the SpaceCase
Gallery. You can contact Bart here
and us at feedback@mini-itx.com.
Do you have a Mini-ITX based project we should be seeing here?

1.
Initial Designs
Early in May 2002 I ordered a VIA Epia C3-800Mhz
mobo and made this design in Bryce, a 3-D rendering program.
2.
The First Components
A Plexiglass tube diameter 20cm and length 30cm,
two plates of 8mm thick smoke perpex 21cm x 21cm.
With a jigsaw I cut out the circles for the
front and back plate.
3.
The LCD Screen
The Front Panel with the Datavision DG-24128-5-S1FLBY
GfX LCD Screen.
I used a Proxxon Multi-drill in a stand to
make the mounting-holes.
