DIY Desktop Computer from Laptop Motherboard and aluminum case.
DIY Desktop Computer from Laptop Motherboard and aluminum case. I needed a light weight computer to replace my mothers old Athlon XP 1800+ computer. It needed to be under 2Kg about 4.4lb including the AC adapter cables and shipping box so that the shipping will not be more expensive than the computer :) Specs are AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 1.9GHz (65nm) 2GB RAM ATI Radeon Xpress X1270 with VGA and HDMI Chipset RS690T. I installed a custom live Linux OS based on 64bit Ubuntu 10.10 using remastersys. In the other life it was the Gateway M-1617 and I purchased this from eBay for 84$ with a cracked screen bad sectors on HDD and over-temperature shut down that was only the fault of an old and dry thermal compound. If you need any parts that I did not used in this Desktop please let me know I will give you for free.

Ubuntu Desktop: Multimedia Area
Xubuntu 9.10 installation, customized to create a full-screen unified multimedia desktop, without sacrificing access to system information or at a loss of system resources. (My settings in Compiz, however, do use more resources than needed) The UI is in full 3D, this is being managed by my video card, saving the CPU from the terrors of trying to render all of that out. Being a 3D desktop environment, many windows, effects, and desktops can all be ran at once and cause little to no CPU utilization. Many programs were used to create this look and feel. The names of each application, and its location to download it, can be found below. Those that can are using Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic koala) can use the sudo apt-get install *program* commands from your favorite terminal application. ------------------------------ Operating System : Xubuntu 9.10 (x86, Ubuntu xfce) / http://www.ubuntu.com Interface: GNOME 2.28.1 / http://www.gnome.org/ Desktop Composition (The cool 3D stuff): Compiz / http://compiz.org (sudo apt-get install compiz) Enhanced Compiz Tools: (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager) Meters, Lyrics, and Visualizers: Screenlets / http://www.screenlets.org (sudo apt-get install screenlets Dock: Avant Window Navigator / https://launchpad.net/awn (sudo apt-get install avant-windown-navigator) Advanced AWN Tools: (sudo apt-get install awn-manager) Media Player: Rhythmbox / http://projects.gnome.org/rhythmbox/ (sudo apt-get install rhythmbox) Desktop: - / -
