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.

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.
