2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 RAM

D-Link PCI Gigabit LAN card (needed for dual networking capabilities)

1TB Seagate 7200.12 3.5" SATA drive

Vizo Super Muffle Ultra quiet 80mm fan for a tad of airflow

picoPSU-120 and a 108W brick to power everything

So, I've decided to scrap my old mediaBIN2.1 project (crappy idea and would've been a waste of space) and instead invest my time in a new project - reproducing the weighted companion cube fromin it's full glory at (a rather downsized) 25x25cm. I'm going to try to match the exact dimensions as I can gather them from pictures of the actual in-game cube. I've seen this tried before, but I wasn't happy with the efforts since they weren't reproduced correctly and the dimensions and thicknesses of the corners were off.1) Air vents are made by offsetting the middle hearts by 5mm spacers at the moment, but will see if it can be made more authentic in some way (maybe using the indented pink lines?)2) The back connectors of the motherboard doesn't have access in the preliminary design yet since I couldn't yet figure out how I can do it without cutting out 'n huge section of the cube.3) Placement of power/reset buttons as well as power/hdd LED's have not been determined. Thinking of using a stainless steel panel mount push button hidden somewhere...Oh, the specs of the design is:I've rendered the preliminary design in Solidworks (well, the most important features anyway). The inner box frame will be made from either plexiglass (Perspex) or masonite board (hardboard). The corners will be handmade from 25mm MDF and other layered materials to give the right height. I've followed a tried and true way of mounting the motherboard on hex spacers in a multi-tiered system.I'm going to start building basically as soon as I get the components (already ordered, maybe I'll get them on Tuesday or Wednesday) and I can measure them properly with the digital vernier.Here's a scene from the game with the cube... Awh, isn't it cute?Here is the inside construction drawing, showing the placement of the tier system:Here are two outside perspectives. Notice the holes behind the hearts currently used for ventilation. They will be fitted with filters.Here's another view showing the inside tier system more clearly. Next to the hard drive I will mount the Wireless adapter and the hard drive will be SATA and not IDE as shown (I originally wanted to use a 320GB IDE hard drive so I modeled that first and I'm too lazy to change it
