You're Welcome.

Can you get a picture or two of what you did to the power and reset buttons to actually make them work, please?

You should make custom cables/interface to make your keyboard/mouse work in the controller ports. But I guess most people go wireless for HTPCs. Great work so far, I knew you could do it!! (wink,wink)

How about a way to put the serial ports back in the front, wire them up where you could actually use the Sega Controllers for emulated game?

*EDIT*

If you are up for soldering, here is something that you could consider to making a couple of serial ports in the front work with a USB controler, where you could just plug in a Sega Controller and have ultimate fun as if it were a console still: http://www.retrousb.com/index.php?productID=124

Umm, I don't think they are commonly used these days, but I did have to use one serial port on my computer for my battery backup, that was it. Though these days you see those USB.

Hmm, I can't think of anything else that may use serial.

I would love to see those small motherboards like you are using for this project have an eSATA port. Would be great to hook up to a harddrive with.

Serial ports can be used for mice, modems, networking 2 PCs, UPS, GPS, and lots of diffrenent commercial and industrial equipment (like EKGs, barcode scanners, those credit card swipe things at the supermarkets, and so on).


For the record, this is one epic mod!
