    Do a search for pc case mods. I don't think it would be an ideal enclosure, but I've seen some pretty impressive uses of space. Heat will be an issue, you'll have to add ports for the keyboard, mouse, etc...

    Good luck, and welcome to CP.

    You can get an ITX mobo/PSU and a BD player/HDD from a laptop, i have seen a PC inside a whiskey bottle before lol

    IMHO after the cost of said item's and the time involved to assemble you would probably be better off just buying a player, unless you want to tinker then have at it! :)
    Media Room 7.1
    Sharp lc37d64u | Sanus vmsab-03 | Sonax ZX8680 | Yamaha htr-6290b | Emotiva xpa1 x 2 & xpa5 | RTiA 9 & 7 | CSiA 6 | FXiA 6 | Sanus NF30B-03 | Velodyne dls-3750r | Dual 505-3 m97xe | Monster avs2000/hts5100

    HTPC
    Intel e5300 | Asus p5q DLX | LG ch08 BD | OCZ 4g reaper2 | WD 1TB | Sapphire 4890 VaporX 1g | Asus Xonar HDAV 1.3 | OCZ modXtreme 700w | Antec Fusion remote MAX

    I firmly doubt you'd get all that to work together. You'd have to have all the schematics and service manuals, along with the electrical inner workings of the original player.

    I'd just buy a player or get a dedicate case.
    Main Surround -
    Epson 8350 Projector/ Elite Screens 120" / Pioneer Elite SC-35 / Sunfire Signature / Focal Chorus 716s / Focal Chorus CC / Polk MC80 / Polk PSW150 sub

    Bedroom - Sharp Aquos 70" 650 / Pioneer SC-1222k / Polk RT-55 / Polk CS-250

    Den - Rotel RSP-1068 / Threshold CAS-2 / Boston VR-M60 / BDP-05FD

    Highly unlikely.

    I would get something like the Pop Corn Hour Media Tank: C200
