This is my Corsair Carbide 500R that i saved from a dumpster. The case was crushed and the side panels was cut with a angle grinder. However the plastic parts was suprisingly in good shape. So i made a new case from wooden panels and added some new hardware. The first thing you se in the video is a Xbox 360 slim power supply modded with 3 switches so you can turn on /off mains power to the case. On the back of the case there is a Asus AC66U for internet access. Under the hood there is a Chromecast and a Chromecast Audio. In the front of the case are 3 x usb 3.0 connectors that is currently hooked up to the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and the last one to a 2 amp charger. There is also 2 x 3.5 mm audio jacks. Current setup is:

Playstation 3
Xbox 360
Asus AC66U
Chromecast (2nd generation)
Chromecast Audio
Aukey PA‑T11

Initial build was completed in 1 month and small improvments have been done here and there.
