Dude, there's NO WAY you're getting that in a turkey! :-D

Here's my contribution to a (not-so) long and (not-very) honorable tradition - absolute minimum case 'mod' -
I'm very proud of our friend in Turkey and his iHack.
On the other hand, there is no good excuse for what I built, except "once I got it working, why would I do anything more?"
It gives us good service as laundry-room Internet portal and Filemaker host.
Foxconn H67S; Celeron G530; Asus GeForce 210
if I did it again I'd spend more on a CPU that did integrated graphics and lose the video card.
Maybe even an SSD instead of a drive pulled from a dead G5
Almost certainly could use a smaller power supply....

@vbob Could you elaborate on the purpose of the toothbrush on the power supply?

 

[vbob]

Can I explain toothbrush?
Not in a sense that will be very helpful.
I've used a Sonicare electric toothbrush for many years, and the 'discarded' brushes have nice powerful magnets.
Therefore many of the ferrous objects in my life now have teethbrush attached.

I think I might have had the dangling reset switch wire looped around it at one point, but they my wife couldn't quite reach the switch.

Thanks for noticing!

it aint pretty but a verry clever concept,if it works thats all that matters....
nice build...

 

[SUNBUR57]

That's pretty cool in a way, though I would've put the power supply somewhere else and used a 2.5" SSD or HDD for that matter, but still, nice one ^_^

 

[rkdus]

oh man, that's too much for that lil stand. =)

Most people would have done that with a pico psu and thin mini-itx, but i guess it´s not that easy to get those parts in turkey.

Anyways: Thats an awesome mod.
