All In One live performance custom made box

evoid · Post by **evoid** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 1:06 am

This is the making of Clearbox 1.0, the all-in-one computer / audio interface / wireless router / sensor box / lemur energy feeder / wiimote receiver

http://plat-form.info/index.php?option= ... &Itemid=85

It was made to facilitate the mobility of my rig, and to give me some more CPU cycles than a regular laptop can provide

tech specs:

Q6600 G0 @ 3 Ghz

8 Gb memory

250 Mb hi-speed SATA disk

Fireface 400 Firewire Audio Interface

LC-Green Power 500W with mod to feed a Lemur and the router

WL54G Wireless Router with DD-WRT firmware

bluetooth dongle for wiimote control

further expansion planned, with implementation of a sensor box with sensors applied around the casing

if you guys have too much trouble watching the video, please tell me so i put one version over Vimeo or something..

excellent job sir.

i've spent the day dreaming about my guitar rig.... trying to build a giant custom unit that actually fits my needs.

right now you're my number one hero and inspiration. I wish knew how to use a hammer. or a drill.

Oh, can you build your own mac??? I thought you cant run osx on a box that isnt built by mac.

I want to build my own music box if that is the case. Do tell.

The terms and condidtions for OSX state something along the lines of you not being allowed to run it on a box whihc is not apple-branded. If you really give a shit about that, you could apply a sticker to your custom box!

I was actually visually impressed by the video itself. Even though it spoke to my geekier sides as well.

Not a lot of computers have those, for a start...
