Custom computer case back to projects
An Asus CUSL2-M motherboard was used with a 800 MHz processor and 256+128MB
ram together with a hard drive of 30 gB( this was a silent, low rattle noise
and 7200 RPM disk).
The disk is mounted in two silicone tubes to minimize vibration-noise. the whole
housing is made from MDF wood. everything is rounded and fit exactly with a
manual router machine.

The computer is installed with Ubuntu Linux and worked perfectly, the processor temperature did not exceed 60 degrees centigrade, so there are no cooling problems expected. the power fan is the inlet of fresh air, and below the supply there is a hole left open to enable the air to escape again.
