Seems a bit flawed in a number of areas.  It's still got a couple of fans
in
it, and it's hardy groundbreaking.  It's also quite expensive for what it
is.  Finding a case is the difficult thing, but once that's sorted,
standard
PC bits and 7vdc fans will be just as good as his design.  Perhaps more
than
a month should have been spent on research?  The Fujitsu (which has
appeared
in the tiny Currys branch in Chippenham now) DVD/PC seems the best
ready-made solution out there ... at the moment.
