New Jukebox Project by Huskyoff

I wish I would have taken some pictures of this beast during construction but, here it is finsihed. Well, almost finished. I need to get a fan installed in the top still.



Thanks!

Simple yet effective. good work.

I need to put the fan in the top then, i'll clean up some of the cords... should look a little cleaner. I don't know what i'll do with the plain white box yet. Maybe i'll leave it, maybe i'll decorate it with album art... who knows!

Hi

You can allways design a nice graphic and print it on vinyl and do this.

[JukeboxTunes]

Yeah, that does look cool. Thanks for the inspiration. I'll have to do something...

[Barcrest]

Wraps always make them look cool.

You should design a bracket system and mount your speakers on the sides opposed to having them sit on top. I mean its just a suggestion of course.

Otherwise I think its pretty cool looking.

[JukeboxTunes]

Yeah, That was a thought I had too. Some little shelves off the sides would be nice. I'll have to take the cover off and take a picture of the inside for you guys. It's basically a fujitsu tablet. One cool thing... I added a creative XMOD wireless as the sound card (External USB, they can be found pretty cheap now), that way I can broadcast the music to a second set of speakers, have a remote for volume...etc. It works really well.

Inside the cab at the bottom bellow the screen would be nice if there was space.

[JukeboxTunes]

I'm out of space down there. I have the power supply for the laptop/speakers, the external hard drive is in there and the external sound card. Soon, another transformer for my 2 inch fan to vent the heat.

Got the Fan installed today...

Here is the box fully loaded... there is not much room left. You can see why I need the fan... a lot of heat producing items...



Here is the tablet, face against the board with rubber molding around the screen. I made (bent) those brackets. They press the screen against the rubber enough to keep it from moving.



I just ordered a 250 gig hard drive. I have a 60 gig now that was/is failing. It's just old. So, should be done soon. I'm still thinking about those speakers on the side...

[leeclark2612]

Just a thought, but if you're putting a fan on top, why not also have one on the rear bottom flowing in the opposite direction - an air stream? also, if you sabotaged a pc case you may be able to take the hard drive bay etc and use them as brackets for hardware...looks cool! Good work...

[Barcrest]

You didn't really need the fan on top, one on the bottom would be overkill. I didn't have one at all on my wallmount and it seemed to work fine and that had a barebones pc in it.

If you have a amp inside your cabinate you will need a fan or two. You must at least have good venting holes if you don't have an amp inside. PC's hate heat.

[Barcrest]

I didn't have an amp inside i used external speakers.
