Custom PC’s i have made for fun

Xpenology (Synology NAS Clone) with PiHole and Pi Zero

Created a XPenology, Synology NAS box for all my movies and other storage requirements, built using Juns boot loader and DS918+ files.

Box has the following specs

Intel Core i5 (9th Gen)
Gigabyte MiniITX
16GB DDR4
2 x 512 SSD
2 x 1TB NVME


The Raspberry Pi zero is mounted where the old USB ports were on the front of the case, this is running PiHole as a AD blocker on my network (and is called shutyourpihole) 🙂 the Led is using python to display blocking stats etc

We have the Atari 2600 (woody)

The Game cube PC
First attempt a couple of years ago to cram a PC into a game cube, it worked but the results weren’t up to scratch, hence the horrendous paint job 🙂 🙁
