I have been running, windows media edition 2005 for over a year now, in a tower case. I have moved house, and purchased new tv, stand etc but the PC needed some attention. So I am picking up one of these in Black to match my black tv, stand and xbox. Should fit in nicely I think. Will post pickies when i finish!

i cant wait for some good streaming software to be released.
A nice file server, a low power HTPC for the living room then for the other TV's one of the VIA solutions or new low power AMDs that should be coming out would be awesome. I love the tiny VIAs... no need for a DVD player or anything. Just good enough onboard sound and video for smaller displays.

Am looking forward to your pics and comments, kinda tempted for a desktop case over a tower for my new build... though really im wanting a gaming and media PC so could do with some good, quite cooling.

it has a pull down flap with USB for controllers etc. My specs are P4 3.4 9800pro with 1gb ram with 1 80gb sata and 120gb ide, which still cope okay with what i throw at it. Just been browsing OCUK and cannot believe the total transformation, upgrading anything on mine nearly incurs replacing the lot!

Is that the LC 17? Have to say all the silverstone cases look so nice, pity about the high price tag though.

£75 for that one. Which I think is quite reasonable.
