It would have been nice to use aluminium, but the cramped design made the chances of a short circuit too great. I chose Wonderboard plastic as my construction material because it is reasonably strong and very easy to work with (it cuts with a Stanley knife). In order to mount all the bits I was going to have to make an inner support case that would tightly slide into the cardboard box. I had 6mm to spare on the long internal dimension of the box and only 3mm to spare on the thickness of the box, and this was not allowing for any thickness for the internal support case that holds everything in place.

The challenge was to arrange the components into a 3D jigsaw, then decide how to build enough of an internal support case to get everything to stay in place.Įventually it looked like I might have a possible layout, but the tolerances were tight. The Windows XP box was 3mm thinner and 12 mm narrower than the Adobe Acrobat box I had measured up when first deciding if the project was going to be possible. I nearly gave up and decided it was an impossible task. The bits arrive and it looks like an impossible task, with too many bits to fit in a small space.
No bits could be cut off the motherboard to make it fit.It must have an internal CD drive (this size eating requirement turned out be be very hard to meet).Use as powerful a motherboard as possible for the size i.e.The external dimensions of the box are a tiny 243mm x 200mm x 48mm. So I decided to build my "Windows XP Box" in a Windows XP box. I needed a small Windows XP machine and a Mini-ITX board was the obvious choice.
