    Project SideLoader

    This is an interesting idea which I have ha, I have my normal case sideways on top of my desk, helps to prevent dust and the like going in.

    What I don't like though is that all the ports and stuff is at teh front of the case so its annoying to get CDs and cables in and out of the front.

    Also, I can't see the LCD screen

    So I picked up this off ebay (very cheap and has P3 things in it)







    The aim iis to cover the front up nice, repaint it obviously, with either yellow or green UV side window, i get the windows next week so I can experiment.

    And mount the CD drives and so on on the top right of the current side, with a 7" WS TFT (should funding allow) beneath it.

    Anyway, everything comes apart tomorrow, so expect to see big things happening over the weekend weather permitting

    Quick update on this.

    1) The Case is 1cm too small for me to fit the CDROM drives in the way I want.

    2) The hardware is better then I expected, its a dual pIII setup. And has USB on it which I wasn't expecting.

    Therefore, I am going to cover up the front and get the front covered completely.

    Also I am going to alter the power supply, covering it in heatsinks all inside on the coils and so on.

    This will then be stress tested with cheap components and circuit breakers to ensure it works.

    This will then be used as a m0n0wall server which will be used as a specific gaming router for out 8megabyte internet, sharing it between three rooms.
