I’m all in favor of PCs that don’t look like PCs! You got my vote. Check out my treasure chest for an antique approach to the same thing. Also – what a great write up, thanks for sharing all the hints, tips and links. I learned a lot and it sparked off a few ideas. Thank you.

This was kinda fun, to make a htpc that looked like a sweet wheel.

got a 17inch alloy and got a tire for that then it was just to get started.

The the idea was to make a htpc that would not look like a computer at all, no signs of parts what so ever, so epia itx and was the choice to go with everything put on the back of a modified breakdisk with a red break calliper, hdd is put under the motherboard and a pico psu is used. the thing i think i did best is that from the front nothing that gives away that it is a computer is showing when you look at it.

this is actual the version 2 that was made , the first one was more “disco” with lights and stuff (very anoying when watching a film).

i think i pulled it off really well and lots of comments from friends like why do you have a tire in your livingroom.
