Subject: Re: Taco progress? - Taco parts

That depends on what parts you are talking about.

If you mean parts like LB, LCD - then it's up to you what configuration of Taco you are going to build.

If you mean all parts needed to build internal frame that supports LB then again it depends on what configuration of Taco you are building. I'm, for instance, building Taco with DVD-ROM, MO(instead of floppy) and all PCI slots and personality slot used by various cards on LB. So in my case it's a lot of work. I found a desktop PC case where there was a monolitic frame for holding two 5.25" devices and two 3.5" devices. That fits perfectly in the CC case with my way of LB placement.

If you for example don't need DVD then you possibly could do by modifying CC's original plastic chassis/internal frame to allow LB placement and have floppy intact with hdd on bottom of CC.

The variants are endless. I guess Taco modification requires a bit more creative approach than Takky - there's a number of ways of organising your internals. And I thing we'll see lots of Taco variations in a future whoose innards don't look similar :-))

The only piece of advice I can give you is to get yourself a second CC's case (even broken one) for experimenting. I would screwed up my CC's case ten times if I wouldn't have another one to try on first.

I'm nearly finished with mine - all left to do is to place ATX PSU inside. But here I'm waiting for the newly bought micro ATX (after giving up trials to place full size ATX PSU in my Taco). Then some cosmetic job on a back panel - and all will be finished. I won't be doing photos of my Taco too soon though - don't have access to digital camera right now.
