Mini-ITX in Wii case! Will it fit?

Hi guys, this is my first post on here.

I'm looking to build a small PVR, with DVD reading capabilites and ideally wifi. The plans are to replace my current upright freeview box, with something that can do a bit more. This would be the first part of a new multimedia network in my house. I want a PC or Latop for downloads/backing up/film editing, a network drive wherre I can chuck everything when I'm running low on space and this PC for the living room. It will need to play DVD, Div-X, etc show Freeview, record TV shows and stream/download films from the network drive.

My collection of burnt CDs are all starting to die, so I want to get everything onto hardrives.

Anyway, back to my question. I want a basic system (just enough specs to record TV) so we're talking, twin-tuner TV card, MOBO, slot-loading DVD drive (no need to burn), laptop hard drive (160-500GB), power supply and IR window.

I was borrowing a Wii over Christmas and I really like the case, and thought it would be perfect, but I can't help feeling it will just be too tight. I know I can save space with a USB TV tuner (any USB twin-digital-tuners available), laptop power supply, pico-itx board, and maybe no hard-drive (a temporary flash card that'll stream later to a network drive).

To save wrecking a Wii I've seen the Evolve Wii Replacement Case from Talismoon.com and although it's not a lot of money to part with I was hoping whether anyone would be able to give me a straight "It's possible" or "You fool it'll never fit" or if anyone had tried successfully or not to do something similar.

Thanks for reading this, any advice is appreciated.

i have noidea, but i'd love to see if its possible.

good luck if you go ahead

The Wii dimensions are 157mm x 215.4mm x 44mm (taken from a few sites) and there are plenty of cut-up Wiis around

There's one, showing a few disassembled/guts out pics.

Interesting idea, subscribed

mini-ITX - never - its 17x17cm
nano-ITX or pico-ITX sure, why not. Is there a point? :(
