Could you provide some info on it PLZ... like what the system inside is, how it is put on. Is the other large knob a volume control? Just simple things that explain how you managed to do that.

tvfuzz, I could swear I've seen this mod before. Have you posted it somewhere else as well?
Sweet mod, awesome idea.
Like the rest of the guys said,
HOW'D YA DO IT?
first thing that came to my mind was photoshop until I looked closer and noticed you can see the vents behind the mobo on the top of the tv, very awesome mod.

that one pic does not say a lot. it would be great if you can provide more pics and tell us how did you do it.
for some reason i have doubts that he did that at all. I believe if you did do it you wouldn't have just shown one pic. and you would have said a whole lot more about it. plz prove me wrong and show us more pics and how you did it

If you open up the folder that this picture is in, you can see all the other pictures, which show it a lot better.

I used steel and aluminum sheet metal and aluminum angling for the mainboard tray and some drive brackets. Everything was fabricated except for a lian li 1.0 backplate (that was still cut and ground quite a bit to fit). I used mainly rivets to secure everything, The back houses up to 5 hard drives. The tough part was even though the TV looks square, there are NO right angles in it at all, its all trick angles. TONS of dremmeling and hollowing out all the tabs and extra plastic, then tons more to smooth it all out in there. I coated all the TV vents and crap with thick plastic sheeting (cellophane kind of stuff) so no dust would get in, there are filters in the intake fans and a lexan cover for the side (not in pics becasue of the flash and just ambient glare) so everything is pretty air tight. I had to change the shape on part of it so the backplate/ mainboard tray would fit, you can see this as a plexiglass portion off to the side. This project took me about three months off and on to design and make.

:eek WOW. Great job. I love the idea!
I've had an idea to mod an old knob style wooden radio for some time, but its hard finding the time and the right starting point. Thats a great job you did!

Right behind the motherboard, where the big magnets and tube projector would have been. (http://figz.com/~tvfuzz/photos/computermods/tvcomp/back.jpg)
