Introduction
Clarre Strand in Sweden has created a great looking custom case in the shape of a 1/10 size Ford Focus Rally Car! Along with the usual construction guide, we've included many hi-res pictures in the HTPC Gallery.

Do you have a Mini-ITX based project we should be seeing here?
Contents
My latest project is a HTPC with a Mini-ITX motherboard at its core. I wanted to build my own case for it. A lot of my ideas came from the original GTRPC site, although for that BlueSmurf used a 1/8 scale car and this one is 1/10 scale. Editors note: BlueSmurf's later Mini-ITX based Project Jellybean is also 1/10 scale.
I chose a car like this:

This is the shell for my HTPC. The shell is only 40 (15" 3/4) x 20 (7" 7/8) x 13cm (5" 1/4) high.
|
The shell from another angle. I cut out spaces for the wheels and trimmed the body so that I could mark out the chassis.
|
2. The Chassis
The chassis. I cut it out with a jigsaw.

The shell on the chassis.
It's a nice fit. Now on to the wheel mounting.
