Hello all,

I'm looking at build a under TV HTPC to also run as a Plex Server. Preference for a quite running machine, blue ray drive, full HD, and room for a TV card. Would be nice if the case looks like a DVD player/free view box.

Looking to spend no more than £300.

No need for a HDD or OS.

Plex Server specs: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200375666-Stand-Alone-Server

Thanks in advance for your advice.

PS I'm also looking for a small wireless keyboard if anyone has any good suggestion.

Just had a look at your build.

It looks good and I prefer the look of this case to the one in my build.

The down side of this case is that it has a slim optical drive bay and wont fit the Blu-Ray drive. Could use an external USB drive. This would be ok as my current laptop has no optical drive.
