MarantzMCE Project Log

Well - I have found my inspiration

I have wanted to build a htpc for a while, but I just couldn't find the right case. So... I decided it was time to improvise.

I haven't picked out all the internal components yet, or really decided how its all going to come togather, however I finally do have my new case picked out.

Yeah - its gonna take some modding, but I think it may just come out sweet!

Nice. I was going to do something similar using a Pioneer 25 CD changer. It was a working unit before I gutted it... but then I got busy/lazy and ended up buying a Cooler Master ATC-620C. I still have the gutted chassis. It looks good and can fit a mATX board and standard ATX PSU and a HDD or two. Optical drive may take some work to make a subchassis to hold it. Anyone want the box for cheap to make into an HTPC?
