Im making a dvd/mp3/cda/wmv/avi/mpg/what ever u can think of player, and i want to make myself a box that will fit with my t.v and vcr. Im planning on making it out of some sort of wood, maybe oak or something, and giving it a nice dark tint, with lots of varnish. Cool, or not cool?

Also, is there any danger about grounding?

I was going to take the motherboard grill i have in my comp now and lay it in the box, will that be sufficient?

Thanks guys,
Carl

Used condoms, it may be a messy job, but when you are done you can rest assured that nobody will ever screw around with your computer.

Be serious please. :disgust:

If you insist. ;)

I considered this a year or so ago, and lost interest. There are a ton of people that have successfully done it, wooden case that is, and you can find a world of info on it with a simple google search.

Seem slike I might have seen 1 or 2 at HardOCP forums in their case mods thread. (not adviseable if you are on dial-up)

Retro stereo is brushed aluminum with rosewood sides. That would be cool.

If you go with a veneer you can go with something really exotic. It's really not that hard.

you should do something creative, like build it into a printer, and attach the printer to itself...
