    I may well be in the market for one of these in the not too distant - depending on price, of course!

    Re: Headlines - Lian Li launches proper HTPC chassis: MUSE C36 and MUSE C37

    is this going to include one of lian li's own PSU's then?

    it does look rather tastey tho

    No idea what it's like though. Anyone know who TFX are? Do they manufacture for others? Any ideas on quality?

    Very tasty chassis indeed, though if they can accommodate a standard ATX PSU, I may go for the first and stick a Seasonic in there.

    I think TFX is the form factor, its similar to the one used in the Antec Minuet series of HTPC cases - a tad bigger than a 1u PSU.

    Its a nice looking case, but they would need to match the excellent value of the Antec Fusion and NSK2480 cases to get my business.

    So thats going to be about £219 and £159 over here then.

    A bit on the pricey side isn't it?

    Considering the lack of goodies (ie anything in the lower model), very much on the pricey side. It's just a small case. Hmm. As much as I love Lian-Li, it'll have to be very, very special to buy this over a NSK2480 or one of the bazillions of Silverstone HTPC cases (which are already far too expensive in my opinion).

    Lian-Li's cases are generally always seem pricey for what you get. But the quality is just seriously superior =]

    Oh yeah - my last 2 cases have been Lian Lis.

    They're usually not that expensive though - my A70B cost me £130, which only slightly more expensive than you'd normally pay for this standard of thing.
