Almost complete: Chop-top shuttle: with more hardware than it should have ;)56k warn.

pics now half-sized

Been working on this one for a while. I'll let the pics explain things.

Things that still need to be done:
1: make/enlarge the vent for the cpu air intake
2: eliminate the small ~2mm gap between the sidepanel and front of the case.
3: fill the gap in the front of the case
4: find where a reset button can be attached to the motherboard and use the lower button on the front panel for reset.
5: add wireless antennae and mini-pcie slot
6: replace 120mm fan with a pwm one.
7: remove disk activity and eject logos from front plexi

Specs:
Q6600@3.2ghz 1.42v (3.6 ok too)
8gb ocz ddr2-1000
evga 8800gt (stock cooling)@720/1800/1900
750gb samsung F1+4gb software ramdisk (boot+apps)
520HX corsair power supply

All crammed into a p35 SHUTTLE!

pics unordered. The hdd sitting on the psu is temporary, only the one in the front is meant to be there.

whoa! scale down those pics buddy.

[BlackFlag]

Pics not showing up for me?

[PrometheusCon]

That's pretty awesome. I like what you did to mod the CPU cooler.

[exhausted mule]

that's insane

[vengance_01]

not sure I see the point to this, but good job.

[Bobsama]

That Infinity--how'd you mod it? How's cooling now?

[clayton]

Lol nice CrampBox. Can't imagine how much room the Corsair PSU is hogging. =)

[LogAn'sRun]

smaller pics would be nice so I could see them. . .

Ah, good point. All images will be half-size in a few minutes.

Madness.

That's a tight fit!
You don't need any dvd-drive or dvd-recorder?

[SxL]

wow, excellent work man!, congratulations!

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

USB ^^ I love the idea of ditching my internal DVD drive, and thats exactly what I am doing in my next build :up:

Who needs those extra wires and cables? I for one say NTY.

[Malk4vi4n]

Awesome, u did a very nice job fitting all that stuff in!!!
Now watercool it!!!:up:

[LogAn'sRun]

thanks for the resize!

Nice build!

[YMAA]

Nice!

[Bobsama]

I'd be interested in buying a bolt-thru kit for an Infinity--where'd you get it?

[cirthix]

@bobsama, you have to make it yourself

@malk4vi4n, a 2x120 will fit nicely if the psu was external, but i'm done with wcing, back to air.

@fr3akypete, I use a usb external to install windows with, but don't touch optical media otherwise.

update: I added (shuttle has a spot on the board and a cover+hole in the case for it, but left off the connector) a mini-pcie slot and a wireless card. Antennae will be mounted on the back of the case.

edit: partially cleaned flux makes everything look crappy :(

[cirthix]

Added antennas, swapped out the cpu fan (made a pwm->3pin fan adapter).
