LCII PPC 604/120 "Hot Rod"

Submitted by macintoshme on May 13, 2005 - 7:58pm. Hardware Hacks

I will post pictures later. I took the board out of a LCII and frankensteined in a PowerComputing PowerCenter board. I cut a hole in the top for the processor and it's fan. For the moment, I have an atx ps hanging out the back, untill I find a solution. I hope to hook up a usb port where the floopy hole is.

More later,
Macme

Floopy..

Submitted by moosemanmoo on May 13, 2005 - 9:15pm.

Sounds like a true hack. May I suggest a 1U Heatsink/Fan combo? That would mean you wold only have to make air slots instead of an air pit.

For the power supply, if you

Submitted by CubKid on May 14, 2005 - 3:54am.

For the power supply, if you have the money I'd recommend one of those Morex mini-ITX PSU's. I imagine that would fit with an extension cable and some modification to the cable as well.

Fond a PSU

I found a tiny psu in an old Micron desktop. I should fit perfectly in the remaining space in the case.
