Sorry, but 'quality cinema sound' is not HI-FI (neither technically nor aesthetically).

Hey, well my post was kind of a light hearted jokey one, but in reality it does sound good with TV/Movie sound coming out of my 2 channel HiFi speakers - it's good quality stereo sound. Yep, and I think Yogi's right about it in his post above mine - I'm sure there's lots of so called "modern cinema sound speaker systems" that look good and don't take up much space but sound like sh*t in comparison to a good 2 channel system (ie old fashioned HiFi connected) - I think you got to spend a fair wad of cash on good quality 5.1 or 7.1 if you want something truly decent in comparison, and then you've got some of the space and configuration issues that he mentioned above too. Ha, I also like the contrast of the fairly big 3-way naked speakers of my HiFi sitting on either side of my modern Smart TV - it's a like a fully functional fusion of 2 eras (retro & modern) - which is what the winner of this Guru3d rig of the month did too. Not to mention that you're also extracting all that value out of using an old but quality piece of hi-fi for 20 years, not throwaway tech which has become all the more common in recent years!

Nice idea and done so nicely too. I like how you have ten year old gear inside of 50 year old gear. Retro inside of retro!

Thats class! 😎

Hi all You have always been very supportive when I was showing off my work here, but today, for the first time, I would like to ask for your help. I wish to start manufacturing the case I have designed, but since I am a solo designer with no financial backup to pull it of, I made a crowdfunding campaign on OKpal.com (similar to indiegogo and kickstarter, but available in my country, Croatia). Every amount will be more then helpful to get this project moving, so I can finally make this case and be able to offer it to everyone. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Also, every share on social media helps alot! Thank you, Božo Kaurić https://www.okpal.com/vintage-hi-fi-computer-case/#/ https://i.imgur.com/x3ie9bI.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Hcve2fY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/idRuYyh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ap3wOHa.jpg https://i.imgur.com/z1vfMcC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/2op5Grc.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nZL9l5V.jpg

On that last pic I would swap the position of the power supply and the single exhaust fan, and then I'd turn that exhaust fan into an intake fan so that you can blow cold intake air directly at the GPU, I would probably also add a second intake fan to sit next to it so you could have 2 intake fans blowing on the GPU. Yeah, so that way the GPU gets maximum cooling, which is arguably the most important component to have running at low temperatures so that you can install high power GPUs and allow them to receive enough cooling - but also when GPUs are cooler they boost higher for more performance. Well it looks good, nice design.
