NECRO-BUMP, well really, UPDATE
In the end I didn't modify that HP to be an HTPC. For bluray it could be interesting, though it is obvious things are going online for media consumption. I might update it to become a better server or maybe a reasonable Steam machine? No rush there.
I've been using an Acer Timeline 3810t laptop I had that's been falling to pieces, the first thing that broke was the screen, and since then the keyboard and power cable also went down. Bought a new cable and stripped down the machine, and now I have this beautiful thing (sorry for the cable mess, but you know).
I was planning to do something like this HTPC, but the motherboard is split in pieces...
Thinking of removing the old fan (it's the next thing that's starting to fail), so was going to adapt a new cooling method. Do you guys have any advice? The CPU and GPU were one of the first for the CULV platform.
