So I've been trying to think of some ways to do the various parts of this mod, including creative things to do with the channel changer windows and the window that was home to the clock. I made a diagram of a possible place where it would go.

I was thinking I would stick the USB ports in the windows of the channel changers but pulled back a little bit. Then cut a gap in the actual channel dials the approximate size of the window. This way I can turn the nob to the gap and plug in a USB device and turn it to a channel to make it look normal when there isn't any thing plugged in.

On that point I'm working on a boot up scheme of my own design to maximize possible HDD space. It involves an installation of Windows 98 with TV capture software, a CD, and a USB thumb drive. Use your imagination until I can get the prototype of the above ingredients working the way I want. I'll probably set up yet another subdomain just for that project.

In other news I managed to find a special site dedicated to mini-itx motherboards and accessories, called Mini-Box. This site sells tiny little fanless power supplies and combination packs of mobos and power supplies together at a discount. And here I was about to buy a normal ATX power supply that was real small. I also found Frozen CPU for other accessories including LCD displays. Both look good for this project.

Now I just need to learn how to dremel up somethin' crazy.
