I think he wanted it to run with his plasma, but be installed in a wall cavity or something just behind the tv... a normal case would not fit, so he just went for a more DIY approach.

it was a perfectly normal pc - we actually marvelled at how neat a job it was :)

Oscar99
25-10-10, 23:23
for future reference, i think Aria should snap pictures of any future "creations" customers bring in lol.
