Hello all,
I haven't posted anything mod like in a bit, I had lost my work space in doing my mods so this has put a major damper on my projects. I do however have some room for this little set up I am starting up.
As you can see form the hardware:
GA-H77TN http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128587
i3-3225 3.3Ghz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116774
8GB Vengance ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233242
240GB SSD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226237
Intel Thermal Solutions HTS1155LP http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835203012
Sony Optiarc DVD drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118073
Dell PA-9E Alienware Slimline AC Power Adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052ONCDQ/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So there you have it, all of the parts that I will attempt to stuff inside this:
Here is the mobo and cooler set next to the Playstation case, I will have to have the motherboard I/O come out the side to achieve any kind of fit.
So you see it will be a very tight fit, I have the i3 stock cooler on it right now as I am going to run some tests with the board this evening and get OS X working on it. I basically spent last night getting HDMI auto going on the Sabertooth/GT 610 and half taring this Playstation apart and didn't run anything on the GA-H77TN. I did fire it up on the Dell brick and that worked fine.
Here is some basic tare down of the PLaystation Case.
My biggest challenge will be that Sony DVD drive converted to fit into the PS case and current optical holder. I might go on the hunt for a flip top DVD drive (Sata) to make things a bit easier but until I dive into this drive a bit more I wont make that decision.
It will be tight and it will be thin, but I think this will all work without hacking the crap out of the case. One thing I will do is clean out that whole bottom piece and make a mobo tray and measure out the side for the I/O and then see about air intake and exhaust.
I will also run that board through the ringer and see how well it like OS X and what not.
I also hope to keep on top of this project and not let it get shuffled to the sidelines lol.
thanks for looking
