Android Custom PC

March 10th, 2008

Here is what I’ve been working on for the past few weeks. My Google Android custom PC:

Android Case Mod

I posted additional pictures on this photo album.

This is a fully functional computer, including a JetWay Mini ITX motherboard with a Via C7 CPU, 1GB RAM, Ubuntu 7.10, and a 10,000 RPM 74 GB Raptor.

Here’s the back with the cover on:

The cover is a 12″ steel hemisphere (yes, you can order ANYTHING online). I had to cut out the holes, sand, and paint; painting was the hardest part of this project. All of the wires come out through the holes in the bottom, which is a circular piece of MDF.

I’ll follow up later this week with additional photos showing the construction and assembly process. I plan to sell this, so let me know if you are interested. I’ll probably put it up on EBay in a week or so.

Dude, sweet. Are the antennas functional for WiFi?

No…I salvaged those off a broken Linksys router. I suppose that would be an easy upgrade, though. I left about 6″ wire attached to the antennas, just in case.
