I need a home theatre PC case

Frys has what you want - some real dazzlers.

A PC in the living room ?

Look for those sleek compact low profile cases that'll take a micro-ATX motherboard and not need a fan either.

Shuttle come to mind but there are also some cases that could pass for a hi-fi unit.

Although Aopen now has a consumer PC in line with AV styling...

All i can find is drab looking ones with no sex appeal. MY wife wont let me put one of those on display. Would like a VFD and volume if possoble. Silverstone comes close, but no pink cigar.


Yup. I have access to some fanless designs. You can also get some pretty quiet fans nowdays. My current lifestyle unit has a fan.

Yup. Windows Media Edition. Will play DVD's, MP3, JPG CD, TV, HDTV, AM, FM, Record TV plus I can even listen to streaming audio if I am real desperate (good for sport).

AOpen looks promising.

Go visit HTPCnews.com IMO this is the definitive source for all things HTPC. You'll find tons of case options in, forum threads, reviews, pictures, etc...

You can do all those things until Microsoft decides you're not allowed to, anyway.
