Too big or SFF enough for you?
Nice to see CraigBru posting over here, i followed the entire build log on the sudanian(spelling is weird) forums and its a work of art glad to hear it got 2nd place at nVision!
I've gotten mine from ebay, US Civil Defense Radiation Survey Meter, model CDV-715. Made by a bunch of different companies, some are better than others for modding since the dimensions vary by manufacturer.
I got some bids on a couple of these right now, but I don't know what I'm going to do with them later. When you made them, are they just surfable and that's it?
Otherwise, I think they'll look nice on my bookshelf as a little kitsch/nostalgic art peices. . . CD FTW
I have three PC versions right now. One Pentium-M, one Via C3, and one using a Cyrix/National Semi/AMD MediaGX/Geode GX1. The Pentium-M is a full PC running XP. No less useable than a laptop with the same specs. The Via C3 version was set up as a simple NAS, but could just as easily be a low-end XP machine. The Geode is too underpowered for much more than Win98, but makes an acceptable Linux web surfer. The boards I use are designed for embedded systems, but other than form factor they're functionally identical[1] to an ATX type PC.
I've also used these meters to build a bunch of USB hard drive cases. I bought my first meter on an impulse, then got it and realized they're almost perfectly sized to hold a hard drive.
