VCR PC - Casemod, Version 2

[Blackinterceptor999]

Ok, I chuckled a lil, this is definitely one of the more amusing case mods I have seen, I like it! I bet with new mATX parts and modern small hardware this 'VCR" could be an amazing home theater PC.....And blend in with vintage sound equipment as well...If I had to rate this 1-5 it would be 5 all the way, good job!

Nice case mod and nice video of it! you should make a video of it when it's finished

Wow, this is amazing.. I'm trying to do something the same, but wont probably be as good as this one lol.

Wow, I should try building a VCR from scratch.

How is the flap opened?

[Alexander9170]

@MixerVM It is done by a small motor from an optical drive (the one which drives the tray). The motor pulls the flap via a small cord to open it. The motor is controlled with a PIC18F4550 microcontroller, which also measures the temperatur and controls the display.

Where is the power supply and what watts?

[Alexander9170]

@MixerVM The PSU is behind the DVD drive. It has about 200W

[MixerVM]

@Alexander9170 Wow, the PSU must be really underrated if it can power so many fans!
