View Single Post - The printer that doesn't print

Well, at least not until I hook the other C80 up to it.

What am I talking about? Well, I had some junky parts that I wanted to put a system together with, and I thought since I had the micro-ATX mobo I should put it in something small.

I looked, then I had an idea, but I kept looking for something else. I couldn't find anything else so I went back to my first idea, a printer.

Besides the compaq/lexmarks, canons, and hps, I had two Epson C80s that led a rough life at a business. One still worked but leaked ink, the other didn't work. I took the one that didn't work and removed everything from it leaving me a spaceous container for a computer.

Check the pictures by following the link at the bottom to see what I have so far. All I have left to do is get a micro-ATX PSU a la e-machines and put it in, then wire the LEDs on the printer to the mobo, and hook up the switches.

I just finished installing Redhat 9 (I didn't want to mess with anything older), and I posted in Woody's 10D thread a minute ago from the printer.

Specs:

Jetway 630CN/CF Socket 370 PIII mobo
VIA Cyrix III 700MHz/100MHz
128MB PC100
Integrated video with 16MB shared RAM
Integrated sound
ADMTek 983B 10/100 NIC
Quantum Fireball 3.6GB HDD

I'm going to write an article when it's complete, but for now check the pix:
