A 1952 Philips TV Becomes A DVR
Over on Flickr, User q240z has posted pictures of his latest project to the byopvr group — A 1952 Philco (Philips) TV Console that he has converted into a custom cabinet for his LCD TV and custom built PVR. The pictures are great — they document the project from the original cabinet (which looks great!) all the way to the finished product (which also looks great!)
For the actual components of the system, a 32″ Sharp Aquos LCD TV was used for the display and a custom built PC was assembled from parts for the DVR. The Aquos LCD TV had to be disassembled so it could be mounted in the cabinet and the components for the computer (motherboard, hard disk drive, dvd drive) were mounted directly to the cabinet. The computer is also water cooled so that it is almost silent and does not require any special ventilation for cooling.
It will be interesting to see more Mods and Conversions like this — I think I’ll have to come up with one of my own for the DVR I’m planning on building soon.
