mCORE phase1 - Complete

Found a funny IT-Hardware shop yesterday.
Wanted to buy a Case, but....







Bought a lot of things:

• D-Link PCI USB 2.0 Card
• Ultra-Silent Fan
• LG DVD-Drive
• Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

After putting it all together (a lot of work) I connected it to my TV. The Ubuntu LIVE-CD worked fine until the X-SERVER started up. Then the screen was black.
So I decided to use a simple Monitor to configure everything.





Ok it looks a bit wired. Today I try to get the TV connection working. I hope it is just a problem with the screen resolution.
Then I have to install all the multimedia packages such as mplayer, xmms and so on.
After this phase 1 is complete.
Phase 1 you ask? Yes phase 1. The next step - not sure when this will happen - is to add a TV-Card and build my own Harddrive Recorder to record TV. I Hope.

One additional thing to do is to mod the case. Fun work. Paint, lights, fans. Maybe next week.
So let's see what happens to this project. You can read about this here soon.
