Efika in a customized 5.25" Icy Box case. The button is used as ATX power switch. Power- and HD-LEDs were added.

Efika interfaces from left (bottom): LAN, USB, S/PDIF, 3 audio jacks, serial, VGA. Top: TV-out and DVI. Below TV-out is a reset-button.

There is still a lot of space left inside. A power switch and the LEDs, everything stolen from a dead PC, were mounted on the floor.

Top view Radeon Pico PSU In action. Blue lights.

The Riser-card at top had been cut at the right edge to not collide with the part of the case holding the small PCB with the power connectors.

Pico-PSU on the right, which generates all the necessary ATX voltages from a 12V DC input. The external Icy Box PSU supplies us with 12V/2A, which is enough for Efika, Radeon and hard disk.

Efika in action. The blue lights are connected to the 5V/2A part of the external PSU.
