    Media PC Cases

    I am going to build a Media PC. I have read a number of pages about Linux PVR's and I have my gear together but I still need to find a good case. I need a good media pc case. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find any anywhere. At my local CompUSA they have a PC case that looks like an older VCR, with only one exposed bay for a 5.25" drive (iirc). I like this but I would like more options. Essentially I am looking for a case that would be at home sitting in an entertainment center aside a VCR, DVD player, reciever, PS2 etc...

    Thanks.

    Small cube cases are real popular right now. All the mini-ITX ones I've seen use wimpy VIA C3 CPUs though. There are some mini-ATX ones that use higher performance chipsets and CPUs however. Here's a Soltek Qbic I found on eBay that has an nForce2 chipset and integrated GeForce4 MX with TV-out. Have seen some AMD 64 ones for $100 more (mobo, PSU and case without the CPU.)
