The computer is stored in a 24" x 14" x 5" inner cabinet. In order to fit, I had to use a micro-ATX board. I fitted it out with a 2.4 GHz Pentium IV CPU, 1 GB of RAM, 120 GB Maxtor Hard Disk. There are two fans at the back, one blows out and one blows in to get air flow within the cabinet.
We use the on-board sound, but did invest in a Radeon 9600 Video card.
All items are mounted to the wooden base or sides. The motherboard is attached with nylon spacers, the others are mounted with L-brackets.
There is a second compartment where the power cord for the unit and the ethernet cord are stored when closed. There wasn't room for a power strip, so the power cord is an extension cord with a 3-in-1 adapter.
The sound amplifier is also mounted in here.
