6×9 Speaker Box PC Case

EPIA VIA M10000 Mini ITX in a 6×9 Speaker Box. 2 hour build time.

I built this for my friend to hold a Mini-ITX PC for the Car.  I constructed it out of a cheap 6×9 speaker box.  Got two boxes for $20 and cut one up.

OK, you need a couple of items besides the Motherboard/PS/ITPS + HD.

6×9 Speaker Boxes on eBay $9 dollars for two + shipping cost.
Plexi glass: 11×14 inch sheet, score with knife and snap in half $2 dollars.
Cool LED fan: Any brand $5-10 dollars.

Tools Needed:
Skil saw and drill.

First the plexi needs only 1 large hole for the fan. I used a 8cm hole-saw in reverse to cut the hole. Made 4 small holes so the fan could be screwed into the plexi.
Then made 4 holes in the corners for screwing into the box. Use the drill in reverse!

Next comes the box.

Using a Skil saw or similar.
Cut the top rectangular to the size you want. You can place tape along the box as a guide. Then cut the back bottom half open in the back.

Screw in the motherboard, Velcro in the HD sideways, and screw in the ITPS etc.. Wire it up to a lit switch like mine if you want to signal the ITPS is putting out voltage or to keep the PC from booting.

And screw in the fan and then pop the top on, and your done. Put it in the corner of your trunk with some Velcro on the bottom.

If you have any questions, you can post them on Mp3Car where I posted this mod in the forums or email me.
