The Bricktop

The beginning

This is my first mod and I have to admit it is very ambitious, but i will continue to complete it. As the name suggests the mod is going to be a laptop; made using an atx motherboard and a 20″ screen as portability is not an issue for me as i don’t mind how big the brick gets.

The spec. is as follows: A-bit AV8 3rd eye motherboard, socket 939 AMD athlon 64 3500+, nvidia geforce 7800 G, 1GB ram, 160GB laptop hard drive, slot loading slim dvd drive, 20″ acer LCD screen.

The laptop case will be made out of: Carbonfibre panels, drain pipe, atx case mother board tray (cut down) and aluminium edge strip.

oh boy, you’ve certainly got alot more dedication than i have. I was thinking of doing a standard box, for a media centre PC(no fancy case though). I am still sitting on my hands because i don’t have enough for the mobo and graphics card yet. I wish i had the determination and imagination you have. i would probably never think of mal=king my case from such household parts. Good luck mate, you are an inspiration.
