Media Center PC

Hello

I am thinking of building my self a media center PC and was wondering if anyone had any ideas that could help me, TBH i dont want the computer to look like what it is if that makes any sence, Also i would like to re-use the Kit that i already have, i do have an AMD 64 Skt 939, and some DDR 400 RAM 1 GB.

Any ideas?
thanks

I used a Shuttle for mine, looks pretty sleek under the telly.

yea, if i were you i would use either a shuttle case, a shuttle like case or a realy expensive case thats like the same size of a tape player.

what ever choice you make im sure it will be good, however you will need to buy a mobo that is micro atx otherwise it wont fit in the small case.

Can be had for about £80, includes a 220W PSU and fits all sizes of motherboard.

I just managed to get a 3700+ SD, Asus A8nSLI Deluxe and 1Gb of ram for £75

and thats going into a Silverstone LC17. I am half way through the build and its going to have DVB-t Tuner, decent storage and is "Hopefully" going to be nice and quiet... It will be my Downloader, Storage server and Media PC connected to my 32" LCD so i can be lazy and MSN in bed...

as well as all the HTPC functions...
