The Pentagram HTPC

Finally seeing this baby finished makes me smile this morning, perfect timing guys!

Wow, that is nice, relatively simple techniques brought together really well.

Looks nice, I cant see how you'd use it as a visual HTPC with it being in the same continent as the display :)

Top marks for using ram that could run faster than the processor :p

Very nice mod. Love the way it's put together. Colour scheme is a little "loud" for me.

What software are you using for a frontend?

Im loving this project and hating it...
both because i had a project that was literally the exact same idea...well parts of it...so now its once again back to the drawing board for originality...

on a lighter note i love this case, brilliance is simple.

Out of all the mods I've seen and never commented on.. This one, for some reason is the best to me.... I'm no Devil man either!

I dislike the colors the weakness of the overall system, yet this is the best mod I've ever seen. Art, this is.

I Love it. Looks beautiful.

There's something totally old school and awesome about this mod. From an artistic or practical stand it doesn't do anything for me but I just, well, like it.

Thank for the kind words :) I just wanted to comment on the colors. The thing is that the case itself has no lights at all im using an external uv spotlight to make it glow and when the uv isnt turned on it really doesnt stick out at all. I really didnt want anything that would have a ton of lights to distract me from the tv screen but when me and some friends ar having a few cold beers to the sounds of Arch Enemy then it can glow all it wants to :) As for software right now its running Win XP and LCD Studio to run the Matrix orbital.

Wow, amazingly awesome as always man. I'm loving how it glows just enough to give it a cool vibe without being too overpowering or distracting.

Beautiful, and built like a brick!

Nice job.

Gorgeous :) Good job!!!

wow thats cool, not sure if I'd have it in my living room but it looks the bee's knees!

the pentagram is not my cup of tea, but very impressive craftsmanship nonetheless!

Ridiculously cool!

Very, very cool.
Only one thing bugs me: that's an inverted pentagram. Much like an inverted cross or the like...

loving the dominators in system that can't even run them at there rated speed, nice colours though :D

Well i do agree that the dominators is very overkill ut i just used what i had and actually i only had dominators and the 8500s was the slowest of them :) Would have been even more mad to have used one of my Pc10000 :D

You have seen the colour of the mod haven't you?? ;)

How is this an HTPC? Looking at it again, this would make a very nice coffe table+computer if laid horizontal. That way you could also incorporate an alter of sacrifice within the living area.

Cheers again on your awsome creation!

Like others I'm not thrilled by the theme (with the inverted pentagram being ranked below the Nazi swastika in my view) but I must say it's well done.

I like the fact that it glows with UV but that can be turned on or off. The stand made from off-cuts is brilliant (my only quibble being that the bolts in the stars stand out a bit - but that's minor). ;)

How good / easy was the software for the Matrix Orbital GX to work with? (I had looked at their older displays but the software, while powerful, looked like it required quite a bit of work.)
