    Right, I've got this sitting at home for a long time.

    I love the look of it and have been thinking of making use of it. I haven't measured the inside yet but I reckon it could hold a Raspberry Pi and hard drive. So, loaded up with XBMC it could be interesting. Then I am thinking what if got it working as a projector (using a pocket projector as a base) on top of all that?

    I guess there are lots of possibilities but I wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts / cool ideas. If I make it complex I'm not sure if I'll have the time or ability but its gotta start with a plan!

    Incidentally, the hard drive isnt a necessity as I have a synology nas which it can feed off. I also have the cine camera which goes along with this but no ideas on that yet...

    One more thing to mention, the rear panel (or other side) is basically a grill so a fan would be well received (thinking of overclocking and or projector bulb)
