Post by: TheDaddy on December 26, 2012, 04:46:43 PM

Hi!

A quick video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGpcy4xZKdQ) about assembling a mini-itx based computer inside the X500 Plus.

Select HD and turn the volume up. ;)

Many thanks to daXX for providing the music.

X500 Plus into the wonderful... :D

I still love it and you have my details if it gets made for us :)

Thanks...if we get the required number of orders, we'd have delivery pretty soon, when I get the parts I'll be assembling them myself, as usual, first come first serve. You are on the list...only 50 will be made... ;)

Very nice case! What's the cost? Is there an option to have the keys backlit?

Thanks. Still working on the cost, there won't be any backlit keys...at least for a while. :)

I'd really like to get one of these for my FPGA Arcade, but we need a more compatible core first and I'm starting do doubt it's happening anytime soon :(

Have we heard anything about the new core? I bet Mike is really busy...

I've received the LEDs, I'm going to braid them this week and sort them out by colour (amber, blue, green, red and white).
Next will be raising the money for the materials (plastic, aluminium etc...). Not long now... :)

Yes, well, it's an one-man effort as far as I know so it will take some time to get a new, stable and compatible core I guess.

I know what doing everything yourself means...completely... :D

It's now several person effort.
I got distracted writing the USB code (mouse and keyboard now work with the adapter, even with hubs).
I'm debugging the latest (hopefully final) OSD changes now.
There will be regular small updates after this first release to sort out remaining bugs/
