My New HTPC

This maybe of interest - slightly bigger than a shuttle but not much

Well here's my new setup in the Silverstone case:

Silverstone Sugo SGO1 Case
AMD 3000+ Venice
Silverstone NT03 CPU Cooler
2 x 512MB Geil Value RAM
128MB Gigabyte 6200 PCI-E (Component Out to SDTV)
Technotrend Budget 1500 DVB-C Card
Hitech Digital X-Mystique 7.1 Gold PCI Dolby Soundcard
MSI RS480M2-IL Matx Motherboard
NEC ND3540A DL DVDR/RW
Hiper HPU-4B580 Type R 580W Modular ATX2.2 PSU - UV Blue

Replaced Silverstone fans ( 1 x 80mm & 2 x 60mm) with panaflos

Oh & some fairly good quality interconnects to the TV & Amp :)

Here's the images:

Had to cut away a bit of the fan casing on the rear 60mm fan to allow for the breakout box cable for component output & also file a bit away on the last slot for the DVB-C card. Otherwise no problems really.

your just being silly now :)

I was thinking more like one of those crome handle type things you get on a kitchen drawer, drill 2 holes in rear of case, and cable tie them onto it

Thanks for the idea m8 will give it some thought - just spent the whole day trying to fix network connectivity issues only to discover it was a dodgy ethernet cable LOL
