Clevo’s oZone mods

[chris]

Hi Chris and fellow Obutto bretheran,

I have had my oZone for approx 3 months now, and am loving it more and more each day, down to the point I am now using it to watch my movies and shows in as well as game.

Brendan @ Simparts in NZ was a great help in my purchase and was very helpful with the countless emails full of questions I sent him as I was making my purchase decision.

Here are some pics of my setup along with the two main mods I have completed:

The first, I am a big Tasmanian bloke and in therefore do not have little chicken legs, so the keyboard tray would foul (pardon the pun) on my thighs when I would swing it in. So to alleviate this I welded a 1/2″ nut in the end of the keyboard tray support arm, cut 6″ of 1/2″ threaded stock, rounded one end to create a pivot point, screwed it into the nut, adjusted to the height I wanted and place a second nut on the threaded stock to lock it off.

The second is an acrylic stone bench top custom table I had CNC machined for me by a local kitchen fit out company the colour is graphite with quartz fleck. Things I considered in the table design were shifter placement ( I felt the Obutto table would impede on my shifter) speaker placement, and an allowance to shelve my console behind my monitor. I had allowances machined into it for the monitor stand and the table can still be adjusted up and down with the wheel deck without fouling on any of the chassis.

I hope you guys like the mods, and that they give you some helpful ideas with your Obutto.
