The
final version will probably look somewhat different, but these
components are the final parts. I have been sitting around
wondering how to take leftover parts and turn them into my home
theater system, at minimal cost...here is what I came up with.
This
system allows me to play games, access the internet, check my
e-mail, have full surround sound home theater with quality DVD
as well. With the high price of a stand alone DVD player and a
separate surround sound system, and the fact that after shelling
out an average $500 - $600 dollars, I still wouldn't be able to
do the internet or gaming / online gaming and or/ check my
e-mail etc. So I came up with this, made MOSTLY from parts
I had around in a spare system.
These
are the specs:
1GHz
Slot 1 Pentium III
Abit BE6-II
256mb PC133 SDRAM
ATi All-In-Wonder Radeon
IBM 30gb ATA100 HD
3Comm PCI Network Card
Pioneer 12x DVD
Abit AU10 Sound Card
Abit SP50 Surround Sound Speakers
Complete Water Cooling Setup
Networked to 512k / 128k Cable Modem access
Custom
RatPadz Rack ( built by me ;^)
Now
all I need is to offload my VHS and start my DVD collection!!!
