Nice, but were are going to need photos of the inside.

Specs are:
Shuttle HOT-687V, but if I need, I can replace it with any classic mATX motherboard. I only put 128MB ram in it, but it can accept 512MB.
Pentium III 800Mhz, but you can underclock it with those front switches, to 400@66 450@75 600@100 and some more unofficial settings.
Standard 3,5" ATA hard drive. Standard 3,5" floppy drive. And a CompactFlash to IDE slot for file trasfer to and form a modern computer.
Realtek 8139C PCI NIC, not the fastest, but has DOS, Windows 3.1 and OS/2 drivers. And is low profile.
Some noname low profile Nvidia Geforce MX200.
And a low profile ESS1878 ISA sound card for DOS sound.
I guted a noname modern 300W power suply unit.

Nice, how is fixed on the back of the mainboard/vcr?

Very unique and innovative, lots of customizing and out of the box ideas here. Big kudos also for reusing an old, broken VCR in this manner 😎

It also resembles a pizza box, and I usually get weary of those - its pretty cramped and tight in there. Heat could be a concern with just one exhaust fan.

An external fuse holder! Haven't seen one on a computer PSU in ages! Sure makes it easy to replace when needed 😁

I hope you beefed up the PSU seeing that is now partially open and with exposed components, you don't want smoke pouring out when you least expect it.

All in all, it looks really good. I would suggest at least another exhaust fan to help with cooling, probably around the CPU area.

heh, very nice solution 😁

System stays totaly cool. Air flows in the top large vent. And goes out from the side. If you can see then cpu and psu are all just under the vent. And the ambient airflow even holds the videocard cool. So no problems there. And yes i also bridged the original psu fuse and retrofited a fuse holder in the back. Just for gigles. And yes i like the times when computer were more like a vcr or game console that sat beside a tv.

Why not remove every cable from the psu that you don't need?

we need kind of s&m section on this forum

Neat build. 😁 I have a cassette deck on my desk that I want to do something similar with.

Yeah i have same idea. Make a chiptune player.
