Neutrino joke.

The Barman says, "sorry, we don't serve neutrinos here."
A neutrino walks into a bar.

For those of you who don't care about what an over litiguios, and amoral company Sony are, check that link out.

And think twice before buying Sony.

Classic game updated

Duken nukem forever, a game over a decade in the making, is not available as a demo. So if you have steam or and xbox 360, its about a 1.6 gig download. I got it on steam, as for the 360 you need to be a gold member. Now to find the time to play....

New project

Now that the lunchbox PC is up and running, I have been scratching around for another project. Even been given a 64Gig SSD to play with. Still not had any ideas...

The lunchbox is finished!

While looking for double sided tape, I found sticky Velcro! So now the DC-DC PSU is velcro'ed on the side and the HDD is velcro'ed to the lid. Cables have been neatened and its working great. Current hooked up to the TV for HD video watching and general internet use.

Almost there with the lunchbox PC.

Shiny!

Had to give up on the flashing power LED for HDD activity. Could not get the bugger to work. I will need to practice a few more circuits and figure out where I went wrong.

Otherwise, left to do is mount the HDD securely in the case, and that is it.

Holes, and a button.

Found that the best way to drill into tin was to use a wood bit.

Cooling holes drilled for the fan drilled off center so that the air should blow on to the main heat sink.



Some holes for heat to rise out.



The shiny button installed.



Also, given my circuit idea some more thought, and if the ground is common then this should work and simplify the design. This hopefully is the final final iteration before I break out the soldering iron.
