A crisis! Little work, a lot of time ... no one bothers to clean up the bins.
The result is a full-fledged multimedia computer with a huge screen, wireless keyboard, mouse, WiFi. With torrent rocking, file garbage, personal web server. And all this is running a
terrible Linux operating system. Compact body and noise level does not interfere with sleep.

We have in stock:
- DVD player Samsung DVD-711 (purchased for 500r.)
- Motherboard Ecs Ht2000 repaired (found in the bins of the motherland)

- WiFi card DWL-G510 (found in the bins of the motherland)
- Western Digital 2000GB Caviar Green WD20EARS hard drive, 64MB (SATA II) (found in the bins of the motherland)
- SATA controller PCI-E x1, Silicon Image Sil3132 chip (found in the bins of the motherland)
- Power supply, 300W (found in the bins of the motherland)

We take out and store the stuffing of the former player, it will suddenly come in handy;)

We reflect on the location of elements. The case is small and everything does not fit.

The main task is to minimize noise, and therefore the number of fans. Ideally, achieve passive cooling, but this is not realistic. :(
- The first solution is to start the flow from the 80mm fan through the power supply, processor, video card and output through the cover.
- The second option is to put a 120mm fan over the power supply, after cutting off the radiators in it. This option is much better, but the height of the case increases. The noise level from such a fan will be so small that, if you are in complete silence at a distance of 2 meters, you would only hear a hard disk chirp. But with him you can fight noise insulation. In principle, and so does not bother anyone.
As it turned out, I for good reason refused the second option.
On the front panel display the power button and 2 LEDs (hdd + power). Cute so blinked =)

As practice has shown, it is a working decision. At maximum load, the temperature was kept just below 60 degrees.
The radiator prevents sata controller, cut off the extra 1cm:

We put noise insulation on the bottom of the case, the material is 5 mm thick. I did not handle the cover.

There is
very little space for a DVD drive; a full-fledged DVD won't fit. Interferes with RAM and processor heatsink. Not much thought bought drive from a laptop. The power connector is different from the standard SATA. You do not want to buy an adapter, it is expensive and incomprehensible where you can buy. Having overrun the Internet floor for diagrams and pinouts of these connectors, I cut the standard to the desired state, connected ... WORKS! I make notes in the draft writing how I got to the pen and at the same time I read opennet ... Suddenly I come across the following article: '(
Crazy hands. Power for Slimline SATA drivesThe article can not read, I will give only a photo of the result:

We collect betta version, looking for errors.

We fix, supplement the design with 3 usb ports on the left side, one is busy under the keyboard with the mouse.
Weather for the week:

Torrent control plugin, transmission:

Plugin resources with online movies:

Soft:
Everything is great here, download xbmc live-CD, install, answer standard ubunt questions, reboot and enjoy life.
Everything works out of the box!For more convenience and increased functionality, you can add an add-ons repository taken from xbmc.ru.
code.google.com/p/seppius-xbmc-repoAdditional plug-ins provide the ability to view movies on ivi.ru and other resources. Listen to internet radio and radio over the internet! And all this sitting on the couch, controlling the remote.
We test under load:
VDPAU greatly relieves percents when watching movies in 1080p format, the temperature of the processor rises to 45 degrees, the temperature of the Nvidia chip is 63-65 degrees. On regular films, 40/53 respectively.
