I hear you, probability and storage was my MO,thats why I made it so boxy and sturdy. It's super easy to stack and store.

correct, stained birchwood. I was worried that it would overheat easily, but those copper heatsyncs hold up very well. It does run a bit hot but within safe ranges. What model of cooler did you use on the CPU and GPU...? The CPU has an Iceberq 4 Premium, its not manufactured anymore but you can sti...

After years of seeing all the cool minified xbmc projects different folks have posted over the years, I finally got the nerve to build one of my own. Its not the thinest, but its a whole lot smaller then the stock model. - Inside is a 1.6 mother board - picopsu160-xt - xecuter2.6 chip to run the boa...
