Introduction

Turntable is an important part of a living room. For audiophiles, it could be the masterpiece.

All is in the simplicity of using it : a single arm starts playing and stops the disk movement.

Difficulties

The main difficulty is the thick: less than 5 cm...

Several solutions : notebook motherboard, BTX power supply (height: 4.5 cm). I've kept the last one.

User Interface

Play arm launches computer. Actually we need to put back the arm to its original place.

Components

  • Empty turntable
  • BTX power supply
  • Micro ATX (17x17cm) motherboard
  • Zalman round fan
  • Slim DVD reader
  • Card reader

  • Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

What to do

Evolution
  • Remote control
  • Better cooling system (caloduc or watercooling)
