MP3 Player Update

post-thumb

Quick update on the MP3 player project. I spent several hours yesterday looking at cases, embedded systems, and got really, really frustrated. The Home Theater PC (HTPC) is just now starting to catch on, but the manufacturers are charging way too much for a case. Granted, these are some really nice looking cases, but the prices they want for some MP3 of them took them right out of the running.

After looking at the pricing for the AllWell STB’s thats what I decided on. Today I ordered a Maxtor 250G 5400RPM hard drive, not the fastest, but it will run quietly and without a lot of heat. I’ll post pictures when the items arrive.

I have decided on the hard drive I’m going to use at least. I can’t remember who makes it, but its a 300G 5400RPM drive. Big and quiet. Speed isn’t important.

If this post helped you, feel free to buy me a coffee or drop me a note,
I'd love to hear about what you've built.
