    By cute did you mean ghastly?

    Red, blue and yellow on the front panel? Someone at Mesh needs to google "colour wheel"

    OR people could follow the excellent self-build HTPC guide that that Shooty* fellow has posted on the forum somewhere....

    http://forums.hexus.net/hexus-hardwa...ch-happen.html

    320gb... pah! That would barely contain my Star Trek avi collection!

    Although I have now removed my two 1tb drives and networked the whole thing to a server...

    Sometimes, I really feel like Manfred Macx. And that scares me.

    £33 inc VAT and including PSU! Cheaper than any other HTPC cases I've considered by some margin. Anybody got any experience of this case, and more importantly, that PSU??

    EDIT: & if any Hexus staff are reading this, how about a roundup of HTPC cases? There must be more and more people looking into building these, and they're obviously a different market to most cases.

    (goes away to look at the other cases on linitx.com...)

    It's a lovely case, certainly, but you have to factor in the premium you'll pay for mini-itx components to go with it.

    There's a couple of good reviews (I was looking at it myself as a possible case to mod for mini-itx watercooling) if you google the case details...

    Re: News - MESH launches new line of "CUTE" full-HD HTPCs

    Would like to see a hexus review! I'd be concerned about the noise levels with such a cheap case and it does look a bit tacky TBH. Nice to see HTPCs getting cheaper even though I don't think I would want that particular one under my TV. Sticking with my Humax PVR and old DVD player for the time being.
