SilverStone LC11 HTPC case

Home Theatre PCs (HTPCs) are an idea whose time has... almost come. The basic hardware has been there for years, now; video cards with decent quality TV output, TV tuner cards, large hard drives, DVD burners, consumer wireless networking; everything you need to get a box into your living room that'll let you record and play TV shows, but also play DVDs and MP3s and your favourite completely legally downloaded video files. There are DVD players that handle some computer video formats - the common flavours of DivX, for instance - but the plethora of audio and video codecs out there mean dedicated followers of digital entertainment fashion have to have a real computer on which to play stuff.

The problem has always been tying it all together so it's actually able to work, and then putting an interface on it that humans other than Dilbert can use.
