Playing with Ubuntu again, but in a Suitcase?
Last night I was board as Age of Conan is starting to lose my interest (once they have fixed some bugs I will go back) and the MediaBox is ticking along wonderfully now its back on Windows XP so I had nothing to play with, but I soon fixed that problem.
I had a few spare parts building up and thought it would be cool to finally have a box dedicated to running Linux on so I can play and not worry about having my gaming PC or Mediabox not working 100%. I rangeled up all my old bits but I had one major problem, I had no case to put it all in.
As I cooked tea I thought what could I put all these parts into? I thought “Leave it open and just sit it on the desk!” but the cats would sit on it to steal warmth. I thought “Put it in an old Mobo box!” but I would not be able to fit every part into the box. Then as I was mashing the potatoes it hit me “PUT IT IN THAT OLD METAL SUITCASE YOU FOUND” perfect!
I quickly ate my tea and set about trying to fit all the parts into the case and get it to shut enough to stop the cats getting in. I got it all to fit in and I was very proud of myself. The lid dose not shut all the way but this provides air flow! there is no Power button on a suitcase so 2 wires fix that problem!.
Hopefully I find an old case to fit all these parts into evenly but for the moment the Ghetto Suitcase-PC is rocking along nicely!
Pictures coming soon!
