Hey anyone looking for a nice Hifi-style case I just stumbled across this.
- Full size ATX for lots of slots for lots of tuners
- 6 drive bays for all those recording!
Well priced at just over USD$100 but doesn't come with a power supply.
Now.... How can I convince the wife?....

....honey, it costs less than what you spent last weekend shoping.

Never worked for me, you are on your own.

I've had one of these cases (in black) for over a year now and I'm very happy with it. I use it with the silverstone passive PSU so it is fairly quiet.

The headroom should allow a decent sized modern heatpipe heatsink for near silent cpu cooling (I only have an old athlon xp in there atm).

The wife complained about the bright front leds so I have covered mine up with some tape until I can be bothered to fit lower powered leds.

Oh yes, it is tall. (170mm)
I haven't see one in the flesh so hadn't really appreciated that. I suppose that is the price of turning the power supply sideways. But gEd is right about this providing some good circulation and CPU cooling options.

Don't connect the HDD connectors and that will at least take the annoying flashing away.

I disconnected the power led as the constant blue on my lc17 was bugging me
