Heh, I guess I'll just change my writing style and do it like you, awm.

6,153,300mm/cu compaired with 9,228,960mm/cu
EDIT: does look sleek though
AS long as you build it with a gigabit network controller, the you only need 1 hard drive in it - build yourself a media server, much more durable as it can be built with Raid sets for data protection. That way you can also have a few of these dotted around the house and they dont need large hard disks in each of them
if you throw an EPIA board in them then you can network boot if you set up a PXE server. Seen this done with Linux, don't know if it is possible with windows (probably not). if/when i set up a big MythTV setup this is what i'll be doing. Diskless front ends, and perhaps fanless silent front ends are the future
And if the MPEG-4 hardware accelerators on the new EPIA boards gets driver support under linux HD TV should be possible too.
Any idea what the price should be? http://www.x-case.co.uk supposedly have them in stock for £155 but similar hipermedia case is only £50.
The 40mm fans are rather offputting when no-one knows how load they are.
i love to build one of these systems with:
SFFee X2 3800+,
7600GS
2x 512MB PC8000
nForce5 mATX board
320GB Seagate 7200.10
