INTEC275 PC Specification

The primary goal of this project is to keep the user experience unchanged before and after as far as listening to CD. Hence, I'm not asking a lot as far as the PC spec is concerned. The PC should be able to provide:
  • Smooth Media Center UI experience
  • Stereo audio playback
  • Possibly DVD playback (shouldn't be a problem)
  • 7"/8" Touch screen control panel (only if I can find a unit that I like)
As far as the core PC components are concerned, the challenge is how to fit everything in the box. The external dimension of the chassis is only 275 mm (10.8") W x 79 mm (3.1") H x 308 mm (12.1') D, and the actual internal dimension would be even smaller.

The true challenge of this case mod is to keep all the original interfaces intact. C-722M has the following accessible to users:
  • On the front panel:
    • Optical disc drive access
    • 8 Buttons (Power, Eject, Play, Stop, Pause, Forward, Backward, Display)
    • Standby LED indicator (which is lit when the unit is not on)
    • VFD (vacuum fluorescent display)
    • IR remote receiver
  • On the rear panel:
    • 2 RCA jacks for left & right audio out
    • 2 3.5-mm mono jacks for Onkyo proprietary wired RI (Remote Interactive) cables
    • S/PDIF connection (optional, depends on motherboard support)
