HTPC Version 2



My second attempt at an HTPC. It has the internals from the first HTPC, but in a flat form factor. Cooling is
improved, it generates less noise and it just looks better overall. The top lid is removable for access to
the internals. I put some front panel USB ports in, too (very handy, e.g. snes controllers, etc). Also, instead
of Winamp, I used Zoom Player for the media player, and jalcds to display various information. Note that the
soundcard is missing from the riser in these pictures. It's being used in the third version of this project.

One last thing. I had the acrylic cut professionally this time. For the first case, I did it myself with a jigsaw.
It only cost me 2 bucks to get it done right, and it was well worth it.
